If you don't know what other employers in your state are paying for jobs, then you don't know what to pay either
Find out with BLR's landmark program: Employee Compensation in Your State
No HR task is more important to your company's economic health than designing its compensation plan. Pay too little and you risk losing your best people. Pay too much, and you risk a whole lot more!
But deciding the "right amount" in salary and benefits isn't easy. There have always been national data for specific jobs, but your people don't live nationally. Each lives in your specific locale, with its own cost of living and competitive landscape. You need to know what's being paid right in your state.
That need is what's made BLR's Employee Compensation in Your State service such a huge hit. Each year, we analyze thousands of jobs, across the nation, on what employers like you are paying in salary and benefits for a wide variety of jobs. Then we segment the data by state, larger cities, company size, and even by such factors as public vs. private organization, profit vs. not-for-profit, and type of business (manufacturing, retail, etc.)
Pick a job, look it up, and you instantly have maximum, minimum and midpoint for your kind of company, right in your locale. It's that fast and that easy.
Know both federal and state law regarding your employee compensation practices
The compensation practices you set are a key part of your program. But you're in no position to set them unilaterally. You've got "partners" who also have to agree with what you do.
Those partners are federal and state government, weighing in with a tangle of laws that regulate nearly every aspect of employment. What must you do, in wage and hours and and salary and benefits administration, to comply? Finding out isn't always easy, especially with state law. And what happens when, as it often does, federal and state rules don't agree?
Employee Compensation in Your State is there for you, with the easiest to use employment law guide program you've ever seen! Here's how it works.
Pick a topic, like "overtime," "bonus payments" or "deductions from pay" and look it up alphabetically.
You instantly see a plain-English explanation of first, what federal law has to say. Then, right afterward, your state's law. Conflicts between federal and state law are pointed out and you immediately know which reigns supreme on that issue.
With 69 topics, explained in nearly 300 pages of concise, often bulleted guidance, you're sure to find the exact information you need. Keeping your compensation program legal has never been easier.
