Making Compensation Work in 2010 and Beyond
Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT *Recertification Credit: 1 hour
As organizations emerge from the recession, they confront the challenge of how best to reward and retain their current employees—and attract the new hires they'll need in the future. The pre-recession pay and reward models may no longer be working in many organizations. Decisions made during the recession to freeze or cut pay may need to be revisited. And companies will soon have to balance salary demands made by top candidates against the compensation packages of their recession "survivors."
In this 60-minute webcast with compensation expert Ann Bares, you'll learn:
1. How to re-examine your reward strategy in light of new business realities in 2010 and beyond.
2. The importance of identifying the distinct roles that base salary, variable pay, recognition and other reward elements play in meeting your overall reward goals.
3. How to ensure that your compensation practices remain competitive as the labor market turns around.

'Excessive' Employee Absences A member writes: "We have several employees in our department who are consistently out sick for several days at a time. They have used all their accrued sick time and now go unpaid when they are out sick, but their consistent absences are negatively affecting our department's productivity. We are in California, so I know regs are tilted heavily in favor of employees. As the manager in charge of getting the work done, what are my legal options here?"
