  17. Summary • Organisations use both extrinsic and intrinsic rewards to compensate employees for their time and effort. Pay systems are designed to attract, retain and motivate employees while complying with government legislation. • Job evaluation is used to evaluate jobs systematically and to assign them to pay grades. The HR specialist strives to maintain a pay system that employees view as equitable, both internally and externally. Standard methods of evaluation include ranking, classification, point and factor comparison. Each offers different advantages. • Pay systems are usually designed to compensate people for the amount of work they produce (piecework), the skills they learn and use or the time they spend on the job (hourly and salaried). Most employees in South Africa are paid through time-based systems. • Individual employee, team-based and organisationwide systems, such as profit-sharing and gainsharing, are replacing automatic pay increases to relate pay to performance.

  18. Summary • Executive compensation has become a complex area of HR functions. Top executives often receive compensation in as many as four areas, including salary, bonuses, long-term incentives and benefits. • Employee benefits are not just a fringe cost to employers; they represent a substantial percentage of the total payroll. Benefits are usually awarded to all workers or on a seniority basis. • Certain benefits are required by law, including unemployment insurance and compensation for injuries and diseases. • Retirement income is provided through private/government pension plans and personal savings. Employers believe that they directly or indirectly provide all these sources - which constitute the single most expensive benefit area.

  19. Summary • Health insurance programmes provided by employers have expanded to include life/disability insurance, as well as the traditional medical and hospitalisation coverage. • Paid time off from work represents a major benefit cost. • Flexible benefit plans are of great interest to employers because they help contain benefit costs and provide employees with more individualised benefit programmes. • Changing employee demographics have caused employers to offer childcare programmes to help employees meet their family needs.
