Dear Emilz,
You have to work on two parallel systems of
1. Performance Assessment
2. Salary and Rewards
And then link them together.
In performance Assessment, you need to rate people based on performance and establish the distribution.
For example, if your performance rating system has a 5-Point scale, (for the sake of example, let us assume that 1 is the worst performer and 5 is the best performer), then establish how many get Ratings of 1, 2,3 4 and 5
Once you that - work on Salary and Rewards systems starts.
Get clarity from your seniors- how much Rupee budget do you have to give as increments. (In other words, your existing payroll cost is hundred, then what is your budget to take it up to ? 115, 118, 120 ? In % terms, it would mean 15%, 18% or 20%)
Suppose they say that you have 15% budget on existing salaries , then prepare a plan on the distribution based on the actual dispersion.
Do some mathematics to establish how much increment employees with rating 1 would get and like-wise. In this example, employees with rating 5 should get the highest increment and 1 gets the least.
In Salary and Rewards we also look at Inflation % and decide whether Inflation becomes your minimum increment point.
Hopefully this would have helped you.
