Furthermore, the days of a straight pay rate are gone as compensation formulas become increasingly complex. For example, DuPont's stock program now has been extended to all employees. Waiting in the wings are aggressive companies that would love to manage much of the operation. It's a challenge that Burnette clearly relishes. Under DuPont Global Services, Burnette and his staff are rolling out an array of new services.
