DEFINITION OF REMUNERATION
In some states, remuneration does not include the premium portion of overtime
pay—for example, the "half" an hourly employee receives when working at a time-and-a-
half pay rate.
Many states use the National Council on Compensation Insurance's (NCCI's) rules
for determining what is and is not remuneration in regard to workers' compensation
insurance.
HRMA 30033 | 1
Types of Remuneration
HRMA 30033 | 2
Payments to cover amounts that would ordinarily be withheld from employees' pay,
including for Social Security and Medicare, are counted as remuneration.
The rental value of an apartment or home that's provided to an employee is a form
of remuneration, as is the total value of any meals, store certificates, merchandise, or
store credits given to an employee.
Expenses, including relocation expenses that are reimbursed by the employer
even though the employee hasn't provided documentation that they are valid expenses
are considered to be remuneration.
HRMA 30033 | 3
accordance with prescribed guidelines and national development plans. The National
Wage and Productivity Commission is not empowered to overturn Wage Orders issued
by the Regional Boards directly. However, the Commission may make a wage
recommendation in relation to a specified industry or branch thereof where it considers
that a substantial number of employees in that industry or branch of industry are receiving
wages which, although in compliance with the minimum wage provided by law, are less
than sufficient to maintain them in health, efficiency and general wellbeing (taking into
account the peculiar circumstances of the industry and its geographical location). Such a
wage recommendation may be either rejected or approved by the Secretary of Labor and
Employment and, if approved, a Wage Order shall be issued by the Secretary subject to
the approval of the President of the Philippines.
The regional minimum wages to be established by the Regional Board are to be
as nearly adequate as is economically feasible to maintain the minimum standards of
living necessary for the health, efficiency and general wellbeing of the employees within
the framework of the national economic and social development program. In determining
the minimum wage rates, the Regional Board considers, among other relevant factors,
the needs of workers and their families, the cost of living and any changes or increases
therein, the prevailing wage levels, the equitable distribution of income and wealth along
the imperatives of economic and social development, the effect on employment
generation, the capacity of employers to pay, the wage adjustment vis-à-vis the consumer
price index and the need to induce industries to invest in the countryside and
improvements in standards of living.
The Regional Boards may set different minimum wage levels for different
industries within the relevant region if the Regional Board considers that conditions make
such differentiation proper and necessary to effectuate the intention of the Labor Code.
A review of current Wage Orders indicates that different rates are usually set for different
sectors, largely divided into nonagricultural sectors, agricultural sectors and retail and
service sectors.
Each of the 16 regions in the Philippines has its own Regional Tripartite Wages
and Productivity Board which sets minimum wage rates for their respective region. The
Regional Boards may set different minimum wage levels for different provinces or
HRMA 30033 | 4
localities within the relevant region if the Regional Board considers that conditions make
such differentiation proper and necessary to effectuate the intention of the Labor Code.
Apprentices, learners and disabled workers cannot be paid no less than 75% of
the applicable minimum wage.
The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards may determine and adjust,
from time to time, the minimum wage rates (every 3 years) with a view to improving them.
Lastly, the minimum wage rates set under Chapter V of Title II of Book Three of
the Labor Code, as amended by the Wage Rationalization Act (the generally applicable
minimum wage rates), apply to all workers and employees in the private sector regardless
of their position, designation or status, and irrespective of the method by which their
wages are paid, except
a) Household or domestic helpers, including family drivers and workers in the
personal service of another;
b) Workers and employees in retail/service establishments regularly employing not
more than 10 workers, when exempted from compliance with the Act for a period
fixed by the Commission/Boards;
c) Workers and employees in exempted Barangay Micro Business Enterprises; and
d) Government sector employees.
Regular Pay
The term ’wage’ means the remuneration or earnings, however designated,
capable of being expressed in terms of money, whether fixed or ascertained on a time,
task, piece, or commission basis, or other method of calculating the same, which is
payable by an employer to an employee under a written or oral contract of employment
for work done or to be done, or for services rendered or to be rendered and includes the
fair and reasonable value, as determined by the Secretary of Labour and Employment, of
boarding, lodging, or other facilities customarily furnished by the employer to the
employee. ’Fair and reasonable value’ does not include any profit to the employer, or to
any person affiliated with the employer.
HRMA 30033 | 5
Wages must be paid at least once a month and can also be paid at least once
every two weeks or twice a month at intervals not exceeding sixteen days. If on account
of force majeure or circumstances beyond the employer’s control, payment of wages on
or within the time prescribed cannot be made, the employer must pay the wages
immediately after such force majeure or circumstances have ceased. The payment of
wages of employees engaged to perform a task which cannot be completed in two weeks
in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement or arbitration award, must be paid at
intervals not exceeding sixteen days, in proportion to the amount of work completed and
final settlement upon completion of the work. As a general rule, wages are required to be
paid at or near the workplace. Payment in a place other than the workplace is permissible
only under certain circumstances. Wages may be paid through banks within one kilometer
radius to entities with 25 or more employees, upon written permission of the majority of
the employees.
Lastly, the law prohibits interference in the disposal of wages, unauthorized wage
deductions, withholding of wages without the worker's consent, deductions to ensure
employment, and retaliation against workers through the reduction of or refusal to pay
wages. However, the employer may deduct from the employee’s wages when: (a) the
deductions are authorized by law, including deductions for insurance premiums advanced
by the employer on behalf of the employee as well as union dues where the right to check-
off has been recognized by the employer or authorized in writing by the employee himself;
or (b) the deductions are authorized by the employee in writing for payment to a third
person, provided that the employer does not directly or indirectly receive any pecuniary
benefit from the transaction.
Employers in the private sector are required to pay a 13th month pay to their rank
and file employees on or before December 24 of every year. All the rank and file
employees of the private sector are entitled to 13th month pay regardless of their position,
designation, employment status or wage payment method provided that they have
worked for at least one month during the calendar year.
While the Decree requires that the payment can’t be made later than 24th of
December, a labour advisory, issued by the Department of Labour, suggests that
employers may give 50% of the 13th month pay before the opening of the regular school
HRMA 30033 | 6
year and the remaining 50% on or before 24 December every year. The amount of 13th
month pay cannot be less than the one-twelfth of the total basic salary earned by a worker
during the year. The due amount is however calculated in view of the monthly absences
from work. Employers are required to report compliance to this by 15th January each
year.
HRMA 30033 | 7
value the position and compare jobs within the company and in the external
market.
3. Neglecting the market.
To be competitive, understand how your compensation plan compares with
other companies in the market. Review salary surveys to determine what other
companies similar in size, industry and location are paying their employees. While
salary surveys are available for purchase, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
makes its wage data available for free.
4. Disregarding internal inequity.
Consider internal equity when making pay decisions. Employees should
feel they are compensated fairly relative to other employees within your company.
If employees believe their jobs pay less than comparable positions, companies
may struggle with lower employee engagement, higher turnover, and potential
legal claims. To help promote internal equity, establish a pay structure that is
based on objective criteria.
5. Weak connection to performance.
Merit raises and bonuses are often tied, at least in part, to individual
performance. Without a strong link between performance and pay, employees may
see raises and bonuses as entitlements or view your payout system as arbitrary.
Set clear performance goals and conduct regular performance reviews to help you
make informed pay decisions.
6. Failing to communicate.
Let employees know how your compensation plan works at the time of hire
and throughout the employment relationship. For example, some employers
provide employees with an annual total compensation statement that lists the
direct and indirect compensation the company provided to the employee over the
year. This can be a powerful motivation and retention tool.
7. Prohibiting pay discussions.
Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), employees
have, among other things, the right to act together, with or without a union, to
improve wages and working conditions. The National Labor Relations Board,
HRMA 30033 | 8
which enforces the NLRA, has taken the position that workplace rules or policies
that could be construed as prohibiting employees from discussing their wages,
benefits and other terms and conditions of employment could violate Section 7.
Accordingly, employers should not prohibit employees from discussing pay or
mandate the confidentiality of wages, benefits or other terms and conditions of
employment.
8. Violating pay laws.
Review applicable federal, state, and local laws that govern compensation,
including minimum wage, overtime, pay deductions, final pay, and pay equity.
Understanding the laws that apply to your business and taking steps to ensure
compensation plans are compliant can help avoid penalties for violating pay laws.

TOPIC 2 – FINANCIAL COMPENSATION
OVERVIEW
Financial compensation is the act of paying a person with money or other items.
That is of economic worth in return for their goods, labor, or to cover the cost of the
damage they have sustained.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
• Explain Government Statutes effects on Financial Compensation

COURSE MATERIALS
FINANCIAL COMPENSATION
While the increased time and workload resulting from government regulation can
be detrimental to individual financial or credit services companies in the short term,
government regulations can also benefit the financial services industry as a whole in the
long term.
The government plays the role of moderator between brokerage firms and
consumers. Too much regulation can stifle innovation and drive up costs, while too little
HRMA 30033 | 10
can lead to mismanagement, corruption, and collapse. This makes it difficult to determine
the exact impact government regulation will have in the financial services sector, but that
impact is typically far-reaching and long-lasting.
Collective Bargaining
Have you ever tried to negotiate a job offer? If so, you know that negotiating as an
individual worker can be frustrating. Collective bargaining, in which workers group
together and elect a representative to negotiate on their behalf, is often more effective.
Even when the unemployment rate is low, workers often need a paycheck more
urgently—or at least, more immediately—than employers need staff. This gives
employers the advantage in one-on-one negotiations with employees.
The process differs slightly from union to union, but it typically looks like this:
HRMA 30033 | 11
1. There is a need for negotiation. This might be a labor dispute or a need to draft
or renew a collective employment contract. Labor and management may also
agree to regular meetings to review issues as they arise.
2. Both sides prepare. Management and labor choose representatives to negotiate
for their interests. Both sides will review the existing employment contract to
identify areas for improvement. Union leadership will often survey its membership
to determine which priorities are most important in the upcoming negotiation.
3. The parties agree to ground rules. Early in the process, management and labor
agree to ground rules, e.g., when and where bargaining sessions will take place
and when all initial proposals should be “on the table.”
The parties also agree on the bargaining style—proposal bargaining or
interest-based bargaining. In proposal bargaining, both sides write proposals for
changes to the contract. In interest-based bargaining, both sides bring issues to
the table and resolve those issues by mutual agreement.
4. Negotiating begins in earnest. The NLRA stipulates which bargaining subjects
are mandatory, permissive, or illegal. For example, employers must agree to
discuss topics like wages and work hours because those subjects are mandatory
under the NLRA. On the other hand, they may or may not choose to bargain on
subjects like company marketing strategies. Finally, both parties are forbidden
from including certain issues, like creating “closed-shop” clauses that would
require employers to hire only workers who are already members of the union.1
5. Management and labor reach a tentative agreement. After several rounds of
give and take, both sides reach a tentative agreement. The union then brings the
agreement back to their members. If management and labor cannot come to terms,
the employer may declare an impasse and implement the last proposal. If the union
disagrees, the NLRB will determine whether a true impasse exists and compel the
employer to return to negotiations. The union may implement a strike, in which
workers refuse to work until an agreement is reached.
6. The union members vote to ratify the agreement. In some unions, the
agreement is tentative until the members ratify it. Members often vote by secret
ballot, which may be required by the union’s rules.

Job Evaluation
Here are Neelman’s five common methods and the characteristics of each:
1. Ranking Method
This method ranks jobs in order based on each job’s perceived value in
relation to the others, says Neelman.
2. Classification/Grading Method
With this approach, generic job characteristics are grouped to reflect levels
of skill/responsibility at a number of predetermined grade classifications, says
Neelman. This is another straightforward method that is not too time-consuming.
3. Point–Factor Method
This approach identifies job factors that add value and worth to a position.
The job factors are separated into groups (i.e., skill, responsibility, effort) and
HRMA 30033 | 13
assigned a numerical or weighted point value. The points for individual factors are
added up to get a point value for the whole job.
With this method, job factors are identified under primary groups (i.e., skill,
effort, responsibilities, working conditions) typically up to five groups. Each factor
is assigned a dollar value (as opposed to point value).
This approach looks at external data, says Neelman. Job evaluation forms
the basis for market pricing. You utilize job descriptions to compare jobs to like
positions within the external marketplace. Pay data are collected from published
sources and the value of the position within the competitive market is determined.
NON-FINANCIAL COMPENSATION
HRMA 30033 | 14
may find non-financial compensation, such as flexible work scheduling or gym
memberships, to be even more preferable than salary when comparing two positions.

Recreational Activities
Examples of recreational activities are endless and include sports, music, games,
travel, reading, arts and crafts, and dance. The specific activity performed is less
important than the reason for performing the activity, which is the outcome. For most the
HRMA 30033 | 16
overarching desired outcome is recreation or restoration. Participants hope that their
recreation pursuits can help them to balance their lives and refresh themselves from their
work as well as other mandated activities such as housecleaning, child rearing, and so
on.
Company Newsletter
A successful business thrives on a culture that values workers and treats them
fairly. That’s why companies are choosing to implement rewards and recognition
programs designed to help employees feel valued and make the most of their lives.
HRMA 30033 | 17
Step 1: Assess the Current System in the Workplace
Your company may not have a rewards policy, but you should still have a
general understanding of employee attitude toward recognition in the workplace.
This can be gained through anonymous surveys or focus groups. Sometimes, the
best approach is to be direct and outline what you hope to accomplish.
These questions get to the root of any problems and gather helpful data.
Using this information, you can identify and outline what you want the rewards and
recognition policy to address. Be sure to get input from all roles and departments,
as mind-set can shift from group to group.
Now that you know the problem, you can address it with a well-constructed
policy. The most effective ones use SMART goals, objectives that are specific,
measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.
Vague or unrealistic goals are unhelpful because they don’t provide your
team with direction. Check out some of the examples of SMART and unsmart goals
below.
• An unsmart goal: Make employees happier, and reduce the number of days
they call out.
• A SMART goal: Implement an incentive program for reliable employees,
and reduce callout days by 5%.
• An unsmart goal: Help employees feel more comfortable by giving them
perks.
HRMA 30033 | 18
• A SMART goal: Increase employee satisfaction and comfort in the
workplace through the implementation of a food and beverage station.
• An unsmart goal: Reduce the number of sick days employees take by telling
them to stay healthy.
• A SMART goal: Keep employees healthy, and decrease the number of sick
days by one per employee annually with a high-quality healthcare plan.
Your current situation will determine the type of rewards policy you
implement. It’s up to you to decide which program will best meet the needs of your
employees.
HRMA 30033 | 19
Step 4: Implement and Optimize the Companywide Policy
Success is determined by your SMART goal. For example, say your aim is
to increase employee satisfaction through the implementation of a food and
beverage station, leading to a decline in callouts by 5%. Give yourself a designated
time period, whether it be 3 months, 6 months, or a year, and then compare callout
rates. If they have not decreased after implementing free food, perhaps a bigger
issue is at play. If rates have dropped, you know the policy has worked.
Once you know how employees feel and what they want, you can develop
SMART goals and research the types of rewards programs that will offer your
company the most value. From perks like free food and beverages to the ability to
work remotely, the benefits happy employees are looking for don’t always include
HRMA 30033 | 20
the highest pay. They simply want to feel valued and appreciated by the people
above them.
Medical Services
Today's occupational health care professional is not only responsible for the health
of the employee but also may be involved with company medical policies and benefits,
disability and workers' compensation evaluations, health promotion, wellness and fitness
programs, industrial safety, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Employee
health services vary widely from company to company. Employers may provide any or all
of the programs outlined below to their employees.

TOPIC 4 - INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING COMPENSATION
OVERVIEW
Compensation is a very important issue in Human Resource Management (HRM)
and affects the relations between management and workers.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
COURSE MATERIALS
Firm’s policy regarding pay i.e., attitude to be an industry leader in pay or desire to
pay the market rate determines its pay structure. The former can attract better talent and
achieve lower cost per unit of labour than the ones that pay competitive pay.
2. Employer’s Affordability:
Those organizations which earn high profit and have a larger market share, a large
business conglomerate and multinational companies can afford to pay higher pay than
others. Besides, company’s ability to pay higher pay is impaired by sector- specific
economic recession and acute competition.
HRMA 30033 | 22
3. Worth of a Job:
Organizations base their pay level on the worth of a job. The wages and salaries
tend to be higher for jobs involving exercise of brain power, responsibility laden jobs,
creativity-oriented jobs, technical jobs.
4. Employee’s Worth:
The forces of demand and supply of human resources, no doubt, play a role in
compensation decision. Employees with rare skill sets and expertise gained through
experience command higher wage and salary than the ones with ordinary skills
abundantly available in the job market. But the higher supply of human resources for
certain jobs may not lead to reduction of wages beyond a floor level due to Government’s
prescription of minimum wage levels and employee union’s bargaining strength.
Similarly, this factor by itself does not result in lower pay if the vast majority of
available resources are unemployable due to poor skill and low talent. Thus, it is clear
that law of demand and supply applies to labour market only to a limited extent.
2. Economic Conditions:
HRMA 30033 | 23
3. Prevailing Wage Level:
Most of the organizations fix their pay in keeping with the level for similar jobs in
the industry. They frequently conduct wage survey and accordingly seek to keep their
wage level for different jobs. If a particular firm keeps its pay level higher than those of
others in the industry, its employee cost becomes heavier which may escalate the end
cost of the products. This will affect the competitiveness of the firm. On the other hand, if
a firm keeps its pay level lower than the prevailing rates, it may not recruit the skilled and
competent manpower.
4. Government Control:
The Compensation Plan (CP) under RA No. 6758 is an orderly scheme for
determining rates of compensation of government personnel. It was crafted to attract,
motivate and retain good and qualified people to accomplish the Philippine Government’s
mission and mandates, to encourage personal and career growth, and to reward good
performance and length of service. To achieve these goals, the CP has a mix of
compensation components, namely; basic pay or salaries, fringe benefits, incentives and
non-financial rewards which provide reasonable levels of compensation packages within
existing government resources, and are administered equitably and fairly. Therefore,
firms have to decide on salaries and wages in the light of the relevant Acts.
5. Cost of Living:
Increase in the cost of living, raise the cost of goods and services. It varies from
area to area within a country and from country to country. The changes in compensation
are based on consumer price index which measures the average change in the price of
basic necessities like food, clothing, fuel, medical service, etc., over a period of time.
Allowances like Dearness Allowance. City compensatory allowances are paid to meet the
increasing cost of living and parity among employees posted at different geographies.
6. Union’s Influence:
The collective bargaining strength of the trade unions also influence the wage
levels. Trade unions enjoy an upper hand in certain industries like banking, insurance,
HRMA 30033 | 24
transport and other public utilities. Therefore, wage structure in such industries and in
such Union-active regions, salary and wage need to be fixed and revised in consultation
with the unions for ensuring smooth industrial relation.
7. Globalization:
Job Analysis
HRMA 30033 | 25
need as much data as possible to put together a job description, which is the frequent
output result of the job analysis.
The job analysis pares the responsibilities of a job down to the core functions
necessary to successfully perform the job. The job analysis is useful in providing an
overview of the fundamental requirements of any position.
The job analysis is a handy tool that you can use to populate any of these
processes for employment success.
Certain activities will help you create a successful job analysis. The job
analysis may include the following activities:
It is critical that you ask the actual employees who are doing the job what
they do every day on the job. Frequently, HR and management (especially senior
management) have no idea what encompasses the day to day functions of any
particular job. They may see the output but they have no idea what work actions
and behaviors go into the employee producing it.
Make certain that you have described your daily duties in sufficient detail so
that your organization is able to hire a qualified new employee who has the
capacity to do the job correctly.
HRMA 30033 | 26
2. Doing internet research and viewing sample job descriptions online or
offline highlighting similar jobs.
While you never want to copy another company's job description, looking at
several is helpful in writing your own job descriptions.
You can find sample job descriptions by searching for “[Job Title] Sample
Description” or you can look at job postings for positions companies are currently
hiring. You can also look at LinkedIn to see how people describe their
accomplishments in a job.
You can also see the job descriptions that are listed on such sites as
Salary.com or Payscale.com. All of this searching can help you figure out how to
word the job analysis and help remind you of the tasks and responsibilities that
you may have forgotten.
3. Analyzing the work duties, tasks, and responsibilities that the employee
filling the position needs to accomplish.
Not every job within a company is optimized. You may find duties that are undone
or important projects that you should move from one department to another. You
may discover tasks that another job would more successfully and easily
accomplish.
4. Researching and sharing with other companies that have similar jobs.
Sometimes companies will happily share information about their job descriptions.
There are also salary survey companies, where you can match up your jobs to
their descriptions and share salary information. But, they can also help you figure
out what to include in your own job descriptions.
Sometimes you get so caught up in the tasks that you forgot to look at the
needed outcomes. For instance, if it's the report that is needed, all the gathering
and auditing of data is worthless without the final analysis and report.
HRMA 30033 | 27
Sometimes, you can identify holes in your organization and figure out a way
to fill them by doing job analyses. Tasks are not assigned to any employee that
needs to be done, for example. Or, one job has more tasks than any one person
could accomplish.
The more information you can gather, the easier you will find the actual
writing of the job description. You don't need to worry about pretty language. You
want a functional job description more than anything else. Make sure it is clear and
concise. Ask yourself, “If somebody else read this, would they know what the
person in this position actually does?”
Job Evaluation
Job evaluations can help you create an equitable compensation system through
appropriate job classification.
• To determine what positions and job responsibilities are similar for purposes of
pay, promotions, lateral moves, transfers, assignments and assigned work, and
other internal parity issues. It is important that employees perceive your workplace
as fair, equitable, and the provider of equal opportunities for employees. Your
process for determining pay and promotional opportunities should be transparent
for employees to see and understand.
• To determine appropriate pay or salary grades and decide other compensation
issues. This is a significant factor in employee satisfaction in the workplace.
Employees do talk about their pay and it's legal for them to talk about their pay.
Public employee pay is posted to the world. Employees will identify any
compensation inequities in your company pay system.
• To help with the development of job descriptions, job specifications, performance
standards, competencies, and the performance appraisal system. These vehicles,
particularly in large companies, need to be equitable, and not dependant on the
boss, individual managers, and departmental whims. Employees always compare
HRMA 30033 | 28
notes - and employers who keep this in mind as they develop their employee
systems - win employee loyalty and commitment.
• To assist with employee career paths, career planning or career pathing, and
succession planning. Having a career path that provides opportunities for
employees is important to all employees, but it's especially important to your
millennial employees. Listen to the language they use when they move on to
another company. Most often they leave you for a better opportunity, a promotion,
or a position where they perceive they have more career potential.
• To assist the employee recruiting process by having in place job responsibilities
that help with the development of job postings, the assessment of applicant
qualifications, suitable compensation, and salary negotiation, and other factors
related to recruiting employees.
In fact, the role of some Human Resources staff consists primarily of job evaluation
and job classification.
In job classification, job analysis and evaluation occur when a new position is
created. The job classification is evaluated each time a significant change occurs in a job.
The job classification re-evaluation is generally requested by an employee through his or
her supervisor.
In a job evaluation that results in decisions about a job classification, factors such
as decision-making authority, the scope, and range of the responsibilities performed, the
level of the duties performed, and the relationship of the position to other jobs in the
organization are considered and compared.
HRMA 30033 | 29
The most common request for job classification re-evaluation that I have
experienced occurs when an employee has taken on new responsibilities or more work.
The employee is often disappointed to learn that more work does not equate to a change
in scope, range, decision-making authority, or higher-level responsibilities. Thus, the job
evaluation results in a job classification that remains the same.
Job Pricing
Retaining and attracting employees is of primary concern for any company. The
foundation of developing a compensation strategy is Job Pricing — the practice of
analyzing pay practices, focused on internal strategy and on a specific market
environment.
The Job Pricing component allows you to analyze, evaluate and determine the
compensation level for specific jobs, based on the current market rate. This enables you
to offer competitive compensation packages that attract the best possible pool of
applicants, thereby enabling you to hire the best possible employees for your
organization.
