Variable-Pay Programs


There are three basic types of programs: Ø Modular plans: pre-designed with each module

put together to meet the needs of a specific group of employees.

Ø Core-plus plans: a core of essential benefits and a menu-like selection of other benefit options.

Ø Flexible spending plans: employees set aside pretax dollars up to the amount offered in the plan to pay for particular benefits, such as healthcare and dental premiums.

Employee Recognition Programs

Organizations are increasingly recognizing that important work rewards can be both intrinsic and extrinsic.

Rewards are intrinsic in the form of employee recognition programs and extrinsic in the form of compensation systems.

Financial incentives might be more motivating in the short-term, but nonfinancial rewards are more important in the long-term.
