One of the most common things HR Know is asked to do is conduct wage market analysis using job benchmarking. We develop a methodology to suit each project, but it always includes sourcing market data from the relevant labor and wage markets using criteria that makes sense for your organization, such as size, revenue, business model, geographic location, industry, and other factors. We maintain a current library of reputable and reliable salary surveys with benchmarking data from multiple industries. After we find matches for your company\u2019s jobs among established market benchmarks, we aggregate the data and determine appropriate base pay and total cash compensation market ranges for each job.<\/p>\n
Our pay range and pay administration recommendations are based on your compensation plan strategies and goals, whether they are focused on improving retention, correcting equity issues, or simply establishing fair and equitable pay internally and within the market.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
Armed with the latest market data and our own personal experience and expertise, HR Know can help your company cost and administer pay increases for market adjustments, merit increases, equity, and other types of adjustments. We work with you to determine the best methodology for your project and then we take on the number crunching to develop an organized pay adjustment plan to fit you budget. We can also work with your accounting, IT, or other departments to automate implementation and make it as simple as possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
HR Know develops pay structures to easily align with relevant wage and job markets. We establish the number of pay grades, grade bandwidth (range), midpoint separation, and grade overlap according to your job specifications and levels. In addition to providing market alignment, a good pay structure ensures pay ranges allow sufficient room for wage growth for employees. Our pay structures are designed to support your compensation plan and work with tools to automatically calculate appropriate pay rates based on criteria such as experience, education, and other compensable factors.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
HR Know has designed a Pay Calculator tool that can be tailored to support your compensation plan and linked to your internal pay structure. This tool automatically calculates the appropriate position for each employee within the assigned job\u2019s pay range based on your company\u2019s needs, preferred wage progression strategy, and wage market dynamics. Whether you have five or 5,000 employees, your Pay Calculator will be calibrated to provide a consistent, unbiased method for determining pay rates.<\/p>\n
ADDITIONAL PAY TOOLS<\/strong><\/p>\n HR Know\u2019s team of experts can provide job analysis to determine job value and establish internal equity. We conduct thorough reviews of job classifications and write or edit job descriptions as needed to include minimum qualification requirements, physical requirements, FLSA status, and levels within each job classification or job family. Once a job has been well defined and its value has been determined, it can be assigned to an appropriate pay grade within your internal pay structure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t HR Know has skilled staff with extensive graduate and undergraduate teaching experience. We provide regular training and ongoing support to our clients during every step of our projects, but we can also deliver professional seminars, lectures, or other specialized educational activities to support your company\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in federal, state and local governments.<\/p>\n Conducting an FLSA audit and properly documenting exemption decisions provides a safe harbor for organizations.<\/p>\n Many companies are challenged in evaluating unique or industry-specific positions through traditional published survey means. Compensation Resources works with these companies to design and administer custom salary surveys to a defined group of peer organizations to obtain compensation about these positions. We utilize various methods (online survey, mail, phone) to disseminate the custom salary survey questionnaire in order to collect data from responding organizations. In all cases, we respect the confidentiality of the client and survey respondents; we provide all survey results in coded format to maintain that confidentiality. No specific information is ever shared with the sponsoring client.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t HR Know will apply a systematic and consistent approach to ensure job classes are properly defined, titled, grouped into families, series, and organized between each other in the manner that established internal equity among classes. This is an important step of any classification\/compensation project. We will group related jobs with progressively higher levels of impact, knowledge, skills, abilities (competencies and other factors providing for promotional opportunities over time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t A Total Compensation Assessment involves reviewing the compensation plans in place in a particular company with a view towards effectiveness and cost-efficiency.
