Compensation Workbench Presented by Ted Geary Natrona Technologies
Summary • Compensation Workbench is used for: • Annual Merit Reviews • Bonus awards on a large scale (ICDs used for one or two employees) • Allocation of Stock Options • Promotion - job changes
Agenda • Getting Started (Keys to success) • Implementation and Setup • Testing (What’s involved)
Getting Started • Defining the business requirements (Required) • PMI states 30 % of all projects are successful, on-time, and on-budget • What happened to the other 70%?
Getting Started (cont.) • What are some requirements you need to define? • When do you do your annual reviews? • Is there a need for prorating compensation for employees who have been hired less than a year? • How is the process done now? • Is there a freeze date? • Who gets a bonus? who gets stock?
Getting Started (cont.) • Cannot emphasize enough to define requirements • Saves time and effort when the implementation and testing starts
Getting Started (cont.) • If already implemented Standard Benefits or Advanced Benefits, it does make the concepts, implementation, and testing easier for the end user • It is not essential but it helps the super user(s) involved in the project
Implementation Summary: • Life Event Reasons • Derived Factors • Eligibility Profiles • Plan Types • Plans • Plan Enrollment requirements • Standard Rates
Implementation (cont.) Life Event Reasons The “Key” is to think about how you want your spreadsheet to look • Defining how many needed • Annual Review • Bonus • Stock Options
Implementation (cont.) What is a Derived Factor? • The compensation to use as a base for Merit Increase, Bonus, or Lump Sum Merit • Hourly Rate • Annual Salary • Prorated (Fast Formula) vs. Stated Salary
Implementation (cont.) Eligibility Profiles Who gets What? • Merit All Eligible Employees • Bonus Management • Stock Options Executive
Implementation (cont.) Plan Types • Stand Alone vs. Combination Plan
