INT ROD UCTI O N OF C OM PE NS ATI ON M ANA G EM ENT
Compensation Management is an integral part of the management of the organization. Compensation is a systematic approach to providing monetaryvalue to employees in exchange for work performed. Compensation may achieve several purposes assisting in recruitment, job performance, and job satisfaction. To be effective, the managers must appreciate the value of competitive pay, their human resources, and have an investment view of payroll costs. It is of prime importance for an organization to maintain pay levels that attract and retain quality employees while recognizing the need to manage payroll costs.
The literal meaning of compensation is to counter-balance. In the case of human resource management, compensation is referred to as money and otherBenefits received by an employee for providing services to his employer. Money and benefits received may be in different forms-base compensation in money and various benefits, which may be associated with employee's service to the employer like provident fund, gratuity, insurance scheme and any other paymentwhich the employee receives or benefits he enjoys in lieu of such payment.
"Compensation includes direct cash payments, indirect payments in the form of employee benefits and incentives to motivate employees to strive for higher levels of productivity”
Compensation is a tool used by management for a variety of purposes to further the existence and growth of the company.
Objec tives of Compensation manageme nt ar e:
1.Attracting and Retaining Personnel: From organization’s point of view, the compensation management aims at attracting and retaining right personnel in the Organization Not only they require persons who are well qualified but they are also retained in the organization. There is no dirth of personnel at operative levels but the problems come at the managerial and technical levels
Particularly for growing companies. Not only have they required persons who are well qualified but they are also retained in the organization. In the present day context, managerial turnover is a big problem particularly in high knowledgebase Organizations.
2. Motivating Personnel: Compensation management aims at motivating personnel for higher productivity. Monetary compensation has its own limitations in motivating people for superior performance.
3. Optimizing Cost of Compensation: Compensation management aims at optimizing cost of compensation by establishing some kind of linkage with performance and compensation.
4. Consistency in Compensation: Compensation management tries to achieve consistency-both internal and external-in compensating employees. Internal consistency involves payment on the basis of criticality of jobs and employees' performance on jobs.

SC O PE O F C O M PENSAT I O N M AN A G E M ENT

It also helps in estimating the basic pay for each job in accordance with the importance of the job in the organizational hierarchy .once a basic pay is determined , the rewards , incentives and benefits attached worth the pay, positions and performance are also determined . The basic wage, incentives and rewards and benefits, together form the compensation package of an employee.

Fringe Ben efits or Per ks
Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, perks) are various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Where an employeeexchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit, this is generally referred to as a 'salary sacrifice' arrangement. In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree.
Fringe benefits can also include but are not limited to: (employer-provided or employer-paid) housing, group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other
specialized benefits
The purpose of the benefits is to increase the economic security of employees. The term perks is often used colloquially to refer to those benefits of a more discretionary nature. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably well and/or have seniority. Common perks are company cars, hotel stays, free refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances for lunch, and—when multiple choices exist—first choice of such things as job assignments and vacation scheduling They may also be given first chance at job promotions when vacancies exist.
Employee benefits in the United States might include relocation assistance; medical, prescription, vision and dental plans; health and dependent care flexible spending accounts; retirement benefit plans (pension, 401(k), 403(b)); group-term life and long term care insurance plans; legal assistance plans; adoption assistance; child care benefits; and possibly other miscellaneous employee discounts (e.g., movies and theme park tickets, wellness programs, discounted shopping, hotelsand resorts, and so on).
