Dale Yoder, “Compensation is paying people for work.”
Definition of Compensation Edwin B. Flippo, “The function of compensation is defined as the adequate and equitable remuneration of personnel for their contributions to the organizational objectives.

Types of Employee Rewards Intrinsic rewards: Intrinsic rewards are the personal satisfactions one gets from the job itself. These are self-initiated rewards, such as having pride in one’s work, having a feeling of accomplishment, or being part of a work team. Extrinsic rewards: Extrinsic rewards, on the other hand, include money, promotions and benefits.
Types of Employee Rewards Financial rewards: Rewards may or may not enhance the employee’s financial well-being. If they do, they can do this directly, for instance, through wages, bonuses, or profit sharing, or directly, through employer-subsidized benefits such as retirement plans, paid vacation, paid sick leaves, and purchase discounts. Non-financial rewards: Non-financial rewards cover some of desirable extras that are potentially at the disposal of the organization.
Types of Employee Rewards Performance-based rewards: Performance based rewards are exemplified by the use of commissions, price work pay plans, incentive systems, group bonuses, merit pay, or other forms of pay for performance plans.
Types of Employee Rewards Membership-based rewards: Membership-based rewards include cost-of living increase, benefits, and salary increases attributable to labor market conditions, seniority or time in rank, credentials (such as a college degree or a graduate diploma), a specialized skill, or future potential (e.g. the recent MBA out of prestigious university). The key point here is that membership-based rewards are generally extended regardless of an individual’s group’s or organization’s performance.
