Compensation reviews – how does yours stack up? Most of us deal with them on an annual basis – and whether your company calls them salary reviews, merit increases, or compensation reviews, there are numerous ways to tackle this sticky process. How do you determine what an appropriate increase is? How do you ensure that employees are paid what their performance reviews indicate? And, what are the pros and cons of the various methods of determining those pay raises? Nancy and Shannon from Compensation Connections will lead us through several scenarios and best practices to help establish or tweak an existing review process to make sure that employees are paid what they deserve, with a process to back up the math.
