Supervisor Pay
The major challenge in compensating
supervisors centers on equity.
Some incentive must be provided to
entice nonexempt employees to accept
the challenges of being a supervisor.
One approach is to key base salaries of
supervisors to some amount exceeding
the highest paid person in the unit.
Supervisor Pay (continued)
Another approach is to pay
supervisors for scheduled overtime.
Develop special supervisory incentive
and bonus plans:
annual bonus
spot award
lump sum
individual incentive
