                   Amaresh C Nayak
International Compensation Strategies
   • International compensation is understood as provision
     of monetary and non-monetary rewards, including base
     salary, benefits, perquisites and long and short-term
     incentives, valued by employees in accordance with
     their relative contributions to performance.
Objectives
   • Attract individuals who arc competent and interested in
     international assignments.
   • Facilitate movement of expatriates from one subsidiary
     to another, from the home country to subsidiaries, and
     from subsidiaries back to the home country
   • Provide a consistent and reasonable relationship
     between the pay levels of employees at the
     headquarters, domestic affiliates and foreign
     subsidiaries.
   • Be cost-effective by minimizing unnecessary expenses.
   • Be consistent with the overall strategy, structure and
     business needs.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
  • Compensation philosophy is the set of values and
    beliefs that an organisation has with regard to monetary
    and non-monetary benefits payable to employees.
  • Often is combined with a set of guiding principles that
    further assist in compensation administration.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
  • What are the goals of the organization’s compensation
    system?
  • What percentage of compensation should be linked to
    individual/unit performance and what should be the
    base salary?
  • What is the role of performance appraisal in disbursing
    compensation?
  • How to target the positioning of compensation of
    employees relative to market?
