This project will result in a fully developed compensation strategy by the end of the term.  The project will have a total grade at the end of the term; however, certain segments of it will be submitted as homework assignments as well.  This not only keeps you on track, it also allows me to give you some pointers if you are off course.

Pretending that you are the HR Director for XYZ Org and have been tasked with developing a new compensation system.  The following instructions are to be used:

Compensation Practice and Regulations Essay Requirements

Requirements, Educational Requirements, any other KSAOs you feel are relevant.  I don’t need exhaustive job analysis, just hit the most important factors – no more than 1 page each.
2. Job Evaluation & Market Pricing
Determine which job evaluation technique you feel best fits your organization and justify it.  Should the exempt jobs be evaluated on a different system than non-exempt? Explain why or why not.
Using what is available on the web, market price your jobs (at least 3 sources of data).  In a real evaluation, you would purchase surveys or match based on industry; I realize that is not possible for the purposes of this class.  In the explanation of the market pricing, tell whether each job would be matched for industry and/or local/region/national and why.
Using the selected job evaluation technique, evaluate your 10 jobs explaining the steps you go through to collect the data and evaluate the jobs.
