This week is devoted to work on your Applied Project: "Designing a Pay Structure." You should have Tasks A, B, and C completed by the end of Unit 3. You will be submitting completed tasks A, B, and C at the end of this unit for review and feedback.
Review the SHRM case, "Designing a Pay Structure."
Prepare an analysis of this case. The instructions are provided at the beginning of the case.
Your analysis of this case and your completed submission should reflect an understanding of the critical issues of the case, integrating the material covered in the text, and present concise and well-reasoned justifications for the stance that you take. This case analysis consists of Five Steps: Job Analysis, Job Evaluation, Pay Policy Identification, Pay Survey Analysis, and Pay Structure Creation.
This case is to be completed using Excel.
Case analysis criteria: Your case analysis should consist of:
- Completion of Task A: Create a complete job description for the benefits manager position using O*NET.
- Completion of Task B: Calculate the job evaluation points for the administrative assistant, payroll assistant, operational analyst, and benefits manager jobs. Provide a rationale for assigning specific degrees to the various jobs.
- Completion of Task C: If there were any outliers (i.e., extreme data points) in these data, what would you recommend doing with them? [From this point forward, assume no extreme data points exist in the dataset.]
