Introduction
The course project is a series of elements where you will examine the current standing of an organization’s compensation system. In the final element of the training program, you will provide recommendations to the organization on how the compensation program can be improved.
Directions
Students will conduct an analysis on the current state of the compensation system and address the current pay structure used. Reference should be made to job-based and person-based structure. Analysis should reference sources of information for job analysis, job evaluation, pay design, and pay levels.
The body of the paper will be 4-5 pages. This does not include extraneous pages like title page, reference page, appendices. APA formatting standards are required. A minimum of 5 scholarly resources need to be used. An example of a scholarly resource can be an interview with an HR professional or a peer reviewed article from a Park University Library Journal Database. Course materials and personal experience do not count. A formal third person tone is required.
Supplemental information (e.g. worksheets that are currently being used) can be presented in Appendices but do not count toward the body of the paper.
Note: Recommendations should not be made at this point – you will make these in Unit 8. This is an analysis of current standing. Keep in mind however, if an organization doesn’t have a set structure, the paper doesn’t end at that point. Student needs to include a discussion of the different methods that could be used. Again, recommendations will be made
Please also include at least 5 references
