ARTICLE *2+ “Fair Pay: A Panoramic View”
(AUTHOR: Samit Kriplani, HR & Business Consultant/Advisor and Chief Editor—Sharp Communique)
We all work, we all slog and we all toil hard to earn & strive to
be the bread winner for our families. All of us have that one lingering question in the back of our minds (sometimes vehemently in the front) “Am I paid well and fair for my work?” or simply “What is my FAIR PAY?”. With this note, I attempt to lay emphasis and credence on compensation surveys as they are the most sought after tools for reliance on this subject. I dwell upon the its
many facets: basic, trustworthy & desirable traits of such surveys. Please do read the section “Industry Highlights” @ Pg.11 of this bulletin edition for obtaining insights on how to obtain compensation numbers from me under “HR & Compensation Survey Report : 2019”.
These are typically instruments used for arriving at an average and a fair range of com- pensation at different levels for specific jobs or positions taking into consideration type of industry, regions, company size, etc. Predominantly, there have been two basic types of surveys—data from employers and data from employers. While there may be enumerable merits/demerits in both the types, there needs to be a critical examination of selection of criteria for arriving at the output, perhaps its accuracy. Brands like PayWell (PricewaterhouseCoopers/PwC), AON Hewitt, Culpepper, Mercer, the Hay Group and Wil- lis Towers Watson are recognised globally for carrying out such surveys. Using the data
from them can leverage detailing of data backed with their experience and may provide better comparisons but it can be way too pricy/expensive, time consuming involving sensitivity and maybe not-so-current data as the survey might itself last for 4 to 6 months, if done minutely. Likewise, when data is used from employees, the leveraging might be owing to the size of population, real time salaries, financial & easy accessibility, currentness but it can be misleading (as complete reliance cannot be laid) owing to the likelihood of unawareness on employees’ side, the typical value gross or CTC being compared which many confuse, typical variable and fixed components being included in salary besides a factor of distrust.
While basic survey reports would comprise of region, position, experience, education & industry data, Trustworthy surveys would even provide size of sample data basis which they have arrived at figures, meaning of salary, typical components of salary (all fixed as well as variable), annual bonuses, Author of the survey, its scope, methodology, sample size, names of companies involved/ participated in the survey and age of data used to arrive at the figures. And then, the advanced ones would even include critical information like all monetary as well as non-monetary perks, company revenues, cost of hir- ing, cost of training and education, welfare cost, meals allowances, rewards and such other perks/ benefits (monetary & non-monetary like health insurance, vacation leave, maternity/paternity leaves). However, a step forward would be to encompass minute observations on standard deviations that might occur owing to either typical role or talent availability in a domain, or assumptions relied upon, cost: revenue structures in different verticals, competencies and skill-set at designated position or level (alongside the job description), factors considered for anti trust counter measures or even the niche-industry that might be in place during a survey, all discretionary as well as non discretionary benefits (Commissions, Stock Options, pension plans, Profit-sharing structure), Merit Pay, with detail accounting of position-wise demand vis-à-vis supply of talent and typical industry manpower ratios on MPEs (manpower equivalents): FTE (full-time), PTE (part-time) & Contractor MPE, prevailing in the industry.
Some formative steps that might be considered in doing a survey may involve the following:
1) Identify the need to survey and lay down objectives
2) Either purchase survey reports or involve an agency
3) Identify best fit for the levels in your org-chart or hierarchy
4) Collate data as collected
5) Critically examine this data
6) Identify the medians or range for all positions so mapped from the market
7) Refer the statutes and regulatory requirements for all positions
8) Devise your components and allowances to be included in a structured manner without much deviation at different levels & considering point 7 above
9) Identify irregularities at different levels and correct them
10) Take informed decisions with due approvals and considerations in place.

SHARP COMMUNIQUE, VOL 1, ISSUE 2 2
The moment these surveys are out and employer establishes a fair output / results of the survey, all eyes (irrespective of age, sex, or position) are glued on them and a heavy downpour of questions begin with all attempts and efforts trying to achieve best for themselves, striving to equate on the max outer range of their respective
bands or even min range of the next applicable band. While employers need to be fair while grappling to attain best competitive / market salaries, there needs to be thorough introspection by the employees in being on the rightful side of having the due capability, skills, competence, experience and education in seeking a “FAIR PAY”. This is not all. Having said that, this needs to be backed by a sound track record of performance, perhaps a consistent performance, in not just striving to achieve the set KRAs, but in going beyond the role and call of their duty, creativity, direct contribution to the top line or the bottom line (as the case maybe) of the business and out of the box thinking in augmenting business out- put, enhancing the brand image that they represent, optimising efficiencies & volumes, or provide ways & means to cata- pult the business in some form. It is only then, that employees, employers and industry at large would actually benefit from these herculean mammoth task of attainment of market equilibrium of which Compensation Survey is just a part.

Succinctly, “FAIR PAY” has plethora of factors and is not just about salaries, benefits and perks. It is a long haul backed with humungous efforts from all corners where employers can be mindful of treating fairly (not just paying fairly) and feel that they are paying rightfully to the deserving lot and employees feel relaxed of being treated fairly (not just paid fairly) but with an introspecting mind-set of being the deserving lot and not the demanding lot.

“FAIR PAY” as I may say is hence not a charade, it is a well articulated and a methodical approach of setting the standards right across all corners. It cannot have microscopic view but examined with a panoramic view. Let us ponder over this thought whenever we next seek insight on this and be ready to turn the tables and view it from the other end.

FAIR PAY
