CHAPTER
Compensation Plans
1
Meaning
Today, to remain competitive, companies need to develop the
reward packages that satisfy the employees. These reward packages are
the combination of monetary as well as non-monetary rewards. The
main objective of working on the reward packages is to attract, motivate
and retain employees. The success of a pay system depends on the
linking of organisational objectives and strategies to compensation so
that individuals could be encouraged to work in a manner which will
gain maximum benefits for the company and stakeholders. The effective
reward approach to pay depends on the interest, cost, needs and
expectations of the employees and employers.

Types of Compensation
Compensation to an employee could be direct or indirect. In direct
compensation, the employee gets rewards which are tangible. Employer

compensation, the employer will praise the employee for the work done.
Any psychological or social forms of rewards are called as intrinsic
rewards or indirect compensation. Extrinsic reward mainly comprised of
both monetary and non-monetary rewards.
