HR Intern Seeking Guidance on Creating a Compensation Band for Project

sids44
Hello everyone, good morning. I am an HR intern pursuing an MBA, and as part of my curriculum, I am required to work on a project. Due to my interest in Compensation, I have chosen to focus on creating a Compensation band for my organization. I am unsure about how to proceed with this project and what information you may need to assist me. I am looking forward to learning a lot.

I understand you must have received guidelines on the project from your faculties. Here's my suggestion for you to consider:

- Define the compensation structure and philosophy in the industry your firm belongs to.
- Identify broadly how banding is done within your industry.
- Drill down to your firm and define the several levels connecting how compensation is drawn for each one of them.
- Define the justifications and rationalizations in mapping the compensations.
- Map and review the existing band in your firm.
- Identify a few areas for improvement and suggest solutions for it.

Here are a few pointers:

Banding Concept
- Bands are used to group jobs across the organization similar in scope and complexity, organizational impact, degree of independent judgment and discretion, knowledge, and skill expertise.

Level
- It is an indicator used to identify the level of the employee, which will be linked to the complexity of the job/role.

Designation / Titles
- It is the title that identifies the role of the individual within the band. For employees in bands 2 and 1, there will be a basket of market-facing designations that can be used based on the leader's approval.

Common Compensation Structure & Policies
- An effective and uniform compensation structure is recommended to attract, retain, and motivate employees.

Please consider Archna's post in this link: https://www.citehr.com/331382-employ...ds-grades.html. You may consider viewing the salary designations and bands as attached in the document I found in this community.

Thank you very much, (Cite Contribution). I have a small query regarding the salary bands. Could you please clarify the year to which these bands pertain?

Thank you.

Designations and salaries are determined based on the nature of industries. Heavy industries pay higher salaries compared to small and medium-scale industries.
