Introduction

1.1. Background of the Study

Employee Compensation and Benefits Management: A Study on Singer Bangladesh Ltd. 5


Human Resource Management (HRM) has never been as significant as it is today. Companies
want to attract, retain and motivate brains to meet objectives. Today Humans are regarded as one
of every company’s assets so they need to be efficiently and effectively managed. One of the
tools companies use to attract, retain and motivate its people is Compensation Management.
Compensation is an integral part of human resource management which helps in motivating the
employees and improving organizational effectiveness.

Employees today are not willing to work only for the cash alone, they expect 'extra'. This extra
is known as employee benefits. Also known as fringe benefits, Employee benefits are
nonfinancial form of compensation offered in addition to cash salary to enrich workers’ lives.

Human Resource is the most vital resource for any organization. It is responsible for each and
every decision taken, each and every work done and each and every result. They should be
managed properly and motivated by providing best remuneration and compensation as per the
industry standards. The lucrative compensation will serve the need for attracting and retaining
the best employees.

So, Human Resource managers’ task is to carefully design the organization’s benefit package.
They have to plan about what benefits should offer to whom and on which basis? Definitely all
the employees will not get the same benefit. A sales person and a receptionist will get different
benefit but inadequate benefits do contribute to low satisfaction level and increase absenteeism
and turnover in employees.

1.2. Rational of the Study

Employee Benefit & Compensation is an integral part of human resource management which
helps in motivating the employees and improving organizational effectiveness. An idle
compensation & Benefit management system will help an organization significantly boost the
performance of its employees and create a more engaged workforce that’s willing to go the extra

3.3. Compensation as component of Human Recourses Management


Compensation management consists of designing the lowest cost pay structure that will attract,
retain, and motivate the competent employees and which is perceived as fair by the employee
satisfaction.

3.3.1. Objectives of compensation management

The following are the objectives of compensation management:

1. An ideal compensation system will have positive impact on the efficiency and results
produced by employees. It will encourage the employees to perform better and achieve
the standards fixed.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Management: A Study on Singer Bangladesh Ltd. 15


7. The success and stability of the organization is measured with pay-package it provides
to its employees.

3.4. Job Evaluation

Job evaluation is one of essence of compensation administration and the establishment of pay
structure. Job evaluation uses the information collected through ob analysis and systematically
determines the value of each job in relation to all jobs within the organization. Job evaluation
seeks to rank all the jobs in the organization and place them in a hierarchy that will reflect the
relative worth of each and determines the organization’s pay structure.

Once the job evaluation is completed, its data become the nucleus for the development of the
organization’s pay structure. This mean establishing pay rates or ranges that are compatible with
the ranks, classifications or points arrived at through job evaluation. The pay structure can be
determined through following process:

Employee Compensation and Benefits Management: A Study on Singer Bangladesh Ltd. 16


3.6.1. Wage survey

Wage survey is the systematic gathering of factual information on pay practices from comparable
firms within or outside the industry. The gathered information gives an idea of the standard
market practices which are used to set the actual wage level. The data can be generated or the
organization can collect the data through secondary source such as publications, research firms
or organization can generate the data through primary source such as conduction their.
3.6.2. Wage curves

3.6.3. Wage Structure

3.7. Incentive Compensation Plan

In addition to the basic wage structure, organizations that are sincerely committed to developing
a compensation system that is designed around performance will want to consider the use of
incentive pay. Incentive can be paid based on individual, group or organization wide
performance.

3.7.1. Individual Incentives

Individual incentives plan pay off for individual performance. Popular approaches include
piecework plans, time-saving bonuses and commission.

Under straight piecework plan, the employee is typically guaranteed a minimum hourly rate for
meeting some pre established standard output. For output over this standard, the employee earns
so much for each piece produced.

Individual incentives can be based on time saved as well as output generated. As with piecework,
the employee can expect a minimal guaranteed hourly rate, but in this case the bonus is achieved
for doing a standard hour’s work in less than sixty minutes. Employees who an hour’s work in
fifty minutes can do obtain a bonus that is some percentage of the labor saved.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Management: A Study on Singer Bangladesh Ltd. 17


Sales personnel frequently work on commission basis. In addition to low wage rate, they get an
amount that represents a percentage of the sales price.

3.7.2. Group Incentives

Each of individual incentive can also be used on a group basis. That is two or more employees
can be paid for their combined performance. One problem with group incentives is that
employees do not see them as being directly linked to their own behavior. The pay of the
employee under group incentives is influenced by the behavior of others with whom that
employee works.
3.7.3. Organization wide incentives

The goal of organization wide incentive is to direct the efforts of all employees toward achieving
overall organizational effectiveness. This type of incentive produces rewards for all employees
based on organizational wide cost reduction or profit sharing.

3.8. Executive compensation

Executive compensation is significantly higher than the benefits given to the middle level
managers and operational staff. This is how executive of business corporations are paid which
includes basic salary, bonuses, shares, options and other company benefits. There are three
components of executive compensation they are explained below:

3.8.1. Executive Salary


Top managers are expected to demonstrate good decision making abilities. Eventually the supply
of qualified senior executives is scare, and organizations have bid up the price for this talent.
They too must keep their salaries in line with the competition or potentially lose an executive to
another organization. High salary also acts to motivate both top executives and lower level
managers. High pay encourages top level managers to perform well in order to keep their jobs.
But high pay also acts to stimulate lower level managers to work hard so that they can someday
move up the ladder to the “big money”.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Management: A Study on Singer Bangladesh Ltd. 18


3.8.2. Supplement Financial Compensation
Financial incentives like bonuses or stock option plans are the exception among rank and file
workers, but it is the rare senile business executive whose compensation does not include such
incentives. The executive is bonus is computed on the basis of some formula, usually taking into
account increases in sales and profits. This bonus although earned in the current period is
distributed over several future periods. The major purpose of such deferred compensation is to
increase the cost to the executive of leaving the organization. Similarly stock options have been
a common incentive offered to executives. They generally allow executives to purchase, at
sometime in the future, a specific amount of the company’s profitability and, therefore the price
of the stock; Stock options are viewed as performance based incentives.

3.8.3. Supplement Non – Financial Compensation

Executives are frequently offered benefits of perquisites not offered to other employees. These
benefits includes such as medical insurance, life insurance, interest free loan, club membership,
vehicles/fuels, quarters, supplemental retirement accounts etc.

Singer is very much concern about the reward system of the employees. Because all the time
Singer believes that no more Singer in the world would exist if each and every single employee
are not satisfied while doing their job in the company. Singer always try to give some rewards
which will cheer up the employees and makes them more attract on their own field. Basically
singer gives two types of rewards towards the employees.

( while unexpected situation arises) b) personal development by getting training without any
expense c) job freedom.
