EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2|Page
In the current scenario of competitive business environment, it has become
important for a management student to equip themselves with the practical
exposure of the corporate world. It was great privilege for me to understand the
practical HUMAN RESOURCE aspects in our college classroom on the topic
Compensation Management.
An online and telephonic interview was being conducted and questionnaire was
being distributed accordingly.
The feedback of the respondents was up to the mark and a positive conclusion
could be made.
3|Page
Compensation management is payment in the form of hourly wages or annual
salaries combined with benefits such as insurance, vacation, etc. that can positively
or negatively affect an employees work performance.
It can be said that compensation is the glue that binds the employee and the
employer together and in the organized sector, this is further codified in the form
of a contract or a mutually binding legal document that spells out exactly how
much should be paid to the employee and the components of the compensation
package. The art and science of arriving at the right compensation makes all the
difference between a satisfied employee and a disgruntled employee.
Though Maslows Need Hierarchy Theory talks about compensation being at the
middle to lower rung of the pyramid and the other factors like job satisfaction and
fulfillment being at the top, for a majority of employees, getting the right
compensation is by itself a motivating factor. Hence, employers need to quantify
the employees contribution in a proper manner if they are to get the best out of the
employee. The provision of monetary value in exchange for work performed forms
the basis of compensation and how this is managed using processes, procedures
and systems form the basis of compensation management.
The aspect of how skewed compensation management leads to higher attrition is
discussed as well. This aspect is important as studies have shown that a majority of
the employees who quit companies give inadequate or skewed compensation as the
reason for their exit. Hence, compensation management is something that
companies must take seriously if they are to achieve a competitive advantage
in the market for talent.
If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings -
and put compensation and rewards as a carrier behind it - you almost dont have to
manage them.

It is a systematic approach to providing monetary value to employees in exchange
for work performed. Compensation may achieve purposes assisting in recruitment,
job performance, and job satisfaction.
PREFACE
Human resource is the most vital resource for any organization . It is responsible
for each and every decision taken, each and every work done. Employees should
be managed and motivated by providing best remuneration and compensation as
per the industry standards. The lucrative compensation will also serve the need for
attracting and retaining the best employees.
Compensation is the remuneration received by an employee in return for his/her
contribution to the organization. It is an organized practice that involves balancing
the work-employee relation by providing monetary and non-monetary benefits to
the employees.
Components of compensation:-
Basic wages/Salaries:-
5|Page
This refers to the cash component of the wage structure based on which other
elements of compensation may be structured. It is normally a fixed amount which
is subject to changes based on annual increments or subject to periodical pay hikes.
It is structured based on the position of an individual in the organization and differs
from grades to grades.
Dearness allowance:-
The payment of dearness allowance facilitates employees and workers to face the
price increase or inflation of prices of goods and services consumed by him. The
onslaught of price increase has a major bearing on the living conditions of the
labor. The increasing prices reduce the compensation to nothing and the money's
worth is coming down based on the level of inflation.
The payment of dearness allowance, which may be a fixed percentage on the basic
wage, enables the employees to face the increasing prices.
Bonus:-
The bonus can be paid in different ways. It can be fixed percentage on the basic
wage paid annually or in proportion to the profitability. The Government also
prescribes a minimum statutory bonus for all employees and workers.
There is also a bonus plan which compensates the Managers and employees based
on the sales revenue or Profit margin achieved. Bonus plans can also be based on
piece wages but depends upon the productivity of labor.
Commissions:-
Mixed plans:-
Companies may also pay employees and others a combination of pay as well as
6|Page
commissions. This plan is called combination or mixed plan. Apart from the
salaries paid, the employees may be eligible for a fixed percentage of commission
upon achievement of fixed target of sales or profits or Performance objectives.
Nowadays, most of the corporate sector is following this practice. This is also
termed as variable component of compensation.
Piece rate wages are prevalent in the manufacturing wages. The laborers are paid
wages for each of the Quantity produced by them. The gross earnings of the
labour would be equivalent to number of goods produced by them.
The GANTT productivity planning and Taylor's plan of wages are examples of
piece rate wages and the related consequences.
Sign on Bonuses:-
The latest trend in the compensation planning is the lump sum bonus for the
incoming employee. A person, who accepts the offer, is paid a lump sum as a
bonus.
Even though this practice is not prevalent in most of the industries, Equity research
and investment banking companies are paying this to attract the scarce talent.
Profit sharing is again a novel concept nowadays. This can be paid through
payment of cash or through ESOPS. The structuring of wages may be done in such
a way that, it attracts competitiveness and improved productivity.
Profit sharing can also be in the form of deferred compensation at the time of
retirement. At the time of retirement the employees may be paid a lump sum or
retiral benefits.
7|Page
Fringe benefits:-
The provision of fringe benefits does not attract any explanation. These includes.,
a) Company cars
b) Paid vacations
c) Membership of social/cultural clubs
d) Entertainment tickets/allowances.
e) Discounted travel tickets.
f) Family vacation packages.
Reimbursements:-
a) Travel expenses.
b) Entertainment expenses
c) Out of pocket expenses
d) Refreshments expenses during office routine outside office premises.
Sickness benefits/pregnancy:-
8|Page
Companies are also providing supporting financial benefits to the family of the
bereaved employees. However, companies covering these cost through appropriate
insurance policies like, Medical and life insurance.
The whole idea of compensation management can be better understood through the
following Pyramid structure.

employees are given allowances to visit any place they wish with their families.
The allowances are scaled as per the position of employee in the organization.

employees are provided with medi-claims for them and their family members.
These medi-claims include health-insurances and treatment bills reimbursements.

provide them the social security. The bonus amount usually amounts to one
months salary of the employee.

provided to employees to provide them social security and motivate them which
improve the organizational productivity.

employees in lieu of the services provided by them to the organization. They
include Leave Policy, Overtime Policy, Car policy, Hospitalization, Insurance,
Leave travel Assistance Limits, Retirement Benefits, Holiday Homes.

SUCCESS FACTORS FOR COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT:
COMPENSATION OF PAYROLL:
15 | P a g e
Figure: Components of Annual Payroll
PAYROLL MANAGEMENT:
Payroll is defined as a method of administrating employees salaries in the
organizations. The process consists of calculation of salaries and tax
deductions of the employees, administrating the retirement benefits and
disbursements of salaries to employees. It can also be called as an accounts
activity which undertakes the salary administration of employees in the
organization.
16 | P a g e
Payroll Accounting
Payroll accounting involves calculations of employees salaries and tax
deductions. It also undertakes the activities such as preparation of tax returns,
maintaining the payroll records, etc.
Payroll Administration
Payroll Administration involves managerial activities such as maintaining
employees records, referring employment laws. Here, the HR comes into
picture which maintains the daily record if employees attendance.
17 | P a g e
Database of employees is maintained. Employees details such as name,
employee ID, basic salary, daily attendance, etc are recorded. Gross Salary is
calculated after adding the allowances and incentives to the basic salary of the
employee. Net salary is calculated by deducting the tax and other calculated
deductions (loan installments, etc).
SALARY NEGOTIATIONS:
Salary negotiations is the process whereby the employer and the potential
employee reach agreement on the terms and conditions of employment. Salary
negotiations generally start with an offer from the employer. The potential
employee can accept the offer or choose to negotiate details of the offer, usually by
a deadline stated by the employer.
The employer states a deadline to ensure that salary negotiations take place in a
short period of time so that the new employee can start work expeditiously. Or, the
employer realizes that they will not reach an agreement with the candidate and can
contact other qualified potential employees before they are unavailable in the job
market.
Salary negotiations are most effectively conducted by one person who responds to
the candidate after consulting with other organization key players. Using a point
person for salary negotiations eliminates the possibility of mixed messages and
misunderstood or poorly communicated offers and responses. Using a point person
in salary negotiations is another opportunity for the employer to continue to build
the relationship with its selected candidate.
Successful salary negotiations result in an employment contract that is acceptable
to both the employer and the new employee.
18 | P a g e
Approach salary negotiations from a win-win perspective. You don't want a new
employee who joins your organization already disgruntled from the salary
negotiations. At the same time, you don't want an overpaid employee who doesn't
earn his keep and is ineligible for increases in compensation within a reasonable
time frame.
Fundamentally, after you have considered these factors, the employer must decide
how badly you want the candidate and the price you are willing to pay to attract
him or her to your organization. Your long term satisfaction with your employee
choice is often a factor of the rationality of your hiring decision and compensation
package versus an emotional need to bring the employee onboard.

During 1911 INDIA was under major unrest due to continuous wars
and struggle for independence which seemed to come true to all Indians with the
help of freedom fighters. Amongst all those freedom fighter was Mr. Gopal
Krishna Gokhale . the hitavada was a brainchild of Mr. Gopal.
23 | P a g e
During 1911 basic motto behind starting HITAVADA was to convey the feeling,
oppositions, rage and protest to Britishers in a language intelligible by them.
Due to language barrier of all newspapers Britishers found it hard to understand the
rage of freedom fighters. After introducing an English newspaper it became far
easier in Central India to convey ones thoughts and opinions against British rule in
India.

PROJECT OVERVIEW:
INTRODUCTION:
The basic notion behind making project on the topic impact of print media in
Chhattisgarh business was to identify the role of upcoming and very popular print
media on the business of state having growth rate of 11.79% in second position
after Gujarat.
OBJECTIVE:
27 | P a g e
As we can see in Chhattisgarh itself THE
HITAVADA circulates its newspapers in several
areas including:
Raipur
Bastar
Bhilai
Rajanadgaon
Bilaspur
Konta
Surajpur
Raigarh
Dantewada etc.
DESCRIPTION
Newspapers play a very major role in spreading the news good or bad to the
masses. All kind of activities may it be in the public or private sector is highlighted
by the newspapers.
29 | P a g e
There are several affects of being updated in newspapers although it has
tremendous reach and penetration in several levels of the society but still it has few
drawbacks.
impacts
POSITIVE IMPACT:
Creates awareness
Stimulates sales
Supports advertising
Generates business
30 | P a g e
Helps to communicate with other stakeholders and share holders connected with
the company.
Eg : as per the information from JCB they told that after giving their
advertisements in newspapers like THE HITAVADA huge response has been
received from the areas where we can never think of. As currently rural market is
very fertile and untapped and if one allocates a small space in the newspaper then it
is read and received by all the farmers who hardly have time to watch TV or listen
to ads on radio.
NEGATIVE IMPACT:
Rarely the case of negative impact occurs but if any wrong source has a good name
and relation in print media can spoil the name of other competitors by spreading
unwanted and fake news.
E.g.: in case of TATA INDUSTRIES the NEERA RADIA tape case a created
rumors that even TATA was also involved all the conversation were mentioned in
the newspapers which created a very bad image for that company who has been a
leader of business sector in terms of loyalty and integrity.
SOCIAL:
All the companies should focus on having good relations with the print
media. As many organization try and avoid their bad name in newspaper
because it directly hampers their image in the society.
Companies are largely affected socially when few of news may be in favor
or against are mentioned in print media. It is on papers then it may be
31 | P a g e
referred and exposed to many layers of society and create an undesirable
image.
On the other hand company has immense impact on goodwill when a good
or appreciating news in printed in newspaper.
Each government organization is also having great impact because of the
print media. Eg 2G SPECTRUM scam it shattered the image of government
and faith of common masses.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY :
It is largely effected by media coverage once the event is successful it
is not in the knowledge of massive public unless printed or conveyed to
media.
POLITICAL:
The political affect is that all the democracy is aware of the goods and
bad of every political leader and keeps an eye while voting and make
a fair judgment.
This image is build up by constant news mentioned in the newspapers
about that particular political party of leader. It had immense impact
on the reputation of that leader.
While doing charity or any good work also they are largely affected
and benefitted.
Each and every political party has a clear image in the minds of the
newsreader as they follow up each and every action of the party and
leader as well.
Eg. Anna Hazare had been highlighted soo effectively by the media
that he has been acclaimed nationwide and all the people belonging to
several regions and states came to co-operate him for the anti-
corruption drive.
ECONOMICAL:
32 | P a g e
Share markets and sensex have their daily fluctuations
Promotes trade and commerce.
Due to increase in business name globally it promotes trade and commerce
of the industry.
The global trends and actions are conveyed across the country and even
outside.
Eg. Libyan crisis is known by each and every part of world.
The publishing office of Raipur was inaugurated by the CHIEF MINISTER Mr.
