Ques 1) (a) A method of comparing job worth that uses broad written descriptions and definitions to place jobs into "levels" is Job classication. Job classification is a scheme of classifying a job according to the current responsibilities and duties associated with the job. It is different than job design in that the person assigned to the job is not taken into consideration. Jobs are classified with the purpose of studying jobs in a holistic perspective.
Ques 2) (b) First step in the training process is to determine specific training needs.
Ques 3) (b) Financial compensation, benefits, and non-financial compensation like appreciation together make up indirect compensation.
Indirect compensation is still monetary in nature — meaning it has a financial value that can be calculated — but is not a direct payment in the form of cash. What is considered indirect compensation can vary across organizations but typically includes much of the benefits package that comes with employment, such as employer sponsored health insurance and employer contributions to an employee’s retirement plan.
Ques 4) (d) Tying pay to the ability to do different jobs is an example of skill-based pay.
Ques 5) (a) Pay mix refers to the difference between the highest and lowest paid employees in the company.
