Hi ,
It seems nobody is practicing Market Salary Survey in India. But if I ask for consultant many will appear on board projecting themselves as they are experts in conducting salary survey but could not answer this term I asked for whoch belongs to Market Salary Survey.
Can anybody explain?

Hi Rashid,
As per my understanding,
Internal Parity - Similar pay for similar work
External competitivenes- How competitive or fair are the salaries being paid to our employees for similar work in either our competitor or other organizations.
Thanks

Hi Rashid,
Don't worry I have answer for you.
1. Internal equityis a fairness criterion that implies an employer’s pay practices correspond to each job’s relative value in the organization.

2. External equityis a measure of an employer’s compensation levels compared to those employers within its recruiting market. As a fairness criterion, external equity implies that the employer compensates at levels that correspond to prevailing, external market rates, as determined by the job’s market range. External equity must be balanced with internal equity.

I hope this will solve your qery.
