I have worked out a sample format for this exercise.

COMPENSATION / BENEFITS ELEMENTS

The following components make up compensation / Benefits elements. You can add/delete as per your company requirements.

BASE SALARIES

SALES INCENTIVES

ANNUAL BONUS

STAFF INCENTIVES

COMPANYWIDE BENEFITS

MEDICAL PLAN

DENTAL PLAN

LONG-TERM DISABILITY PLAN

LIFE INSURANCE PLAN

STOCK OPTION PLAN

EXECUTIVE PERQUISITE PLAN

ACCIDENT/DEATH PAYMENT

PENSION PLAN TUAL

SAMPLE EXERCISE OF VARIANCE REPORT

Draw five columns:

Col 1 = Name of the elements

Col 2 = April to Nov '06 budget for the element

Col 3 = April to Nov '06 actual spent for the year for the element

Col 4 = Variance = Difference between Col 2 and Col 3 in rupees

Col 5 = Variance = Difference in percentage

Col 6 = Comments

Col 7 = Action plan on variance

An exercise:

Col 1 = Name of the elements = Base Salaries

Col 2 = April to Nov '06 budget for the element = 10 million rupees

Col 3 = Actual spent for April to Nov '06 for the element = 11 million rupees

Col 4 = Variance = Difference between Col 2 and Col 3 in dollars = 1 million rupees

Col 5 = Variance = Difference in percentage = +10%

Col 6 = Comments = Overspent on salaries, due to an increase in recruitment

Col 7 = Action plan on variance = Reduce the cost of recruitment

Now for the actual report, you can develop an Excel format and select the elements as per your company policy and complete the columns as required. This is your variance report.
