If you are here because salaries feel like guess work, be assured you are not alone.
The ‘wage bill’ is often one of the largest costs to a business and for many, decisions are reactive and driven by pressure.
Common problems we see
Employees expect a pay rise every year
Pay is where commercial reality and people expectations collide. Without a clear framework that connects individual performance to salary, and transparency about what is affordable, entitlement creeps in and costs will spiral if they haven’t done so already.
We are making pay decisions ad-hoc
Out-of-cycle or ad hoc pay rises agreed on a case-by-case basis, often arise in response to pressure from an employee. Without a framework to guide the decision, outcomes can be inconsistent, unfair and erode control over budget.
Concerns about equal pay
There are clear rules on equal pay. If differences in pay are not clearly justified, then you are exposed to complaints or legal claims.
