The total cost of employee compensation to an employer or organization can vary greatly, from 20 percent of overall operating expenses in a highly automated environment to 80 percent in a service organization. An organization's compensation system is influenced by many factors, including the availability of a skilled work force, the organizations structure, the economic environment, and legal requirements. This introductory course helps you understand the design and administration of a cash compensation system and how that system determines and influences management of human resources. Through lectures, case studies, class projects, and assigned readings you study basic compensation theory, strategy, and techniques.
