This new book by compensation expert Paula Singer proves that, regardless of the state of the economy, a library's compensation plan can mean the difference between keeping and losing top-notch staff. Designing a compensation system that motivates current employees and attracts new ones is the goal of library managers everywhere and Singer's plan can help you to do it. With step-by-step strategies for developing a compensation plan tailored for libraries of every kind, Singer provides innovative methods that take you through each step in the planning process including: * Analyzing job functions * Writing job descriptions * Evaluating job performance (using point factor, classification, whole job ranking, and slotting methods) * Pricing for the market * Offering non-cash incentives * Implementing a compensation plan An entire chapter is devoted to alternative pay plans including broad-banding, skill-based pay, pay for knowledge, and traditional merit and variable pay systems. Trends in compensation are also discussed such as competition, age and cultural differences, customer-focused service, and productivity. Packed with tools - checklists, sample work plans, sample forms, job analysis questionnaires, salary surveys, personnel policies, sample spreadsheets, case studies, and FAQs - this one of a kind guide will help you take a proactive approach in rewarding the best and brightest while capitalizing on your organization's strategic goals.
