COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT

Paper instructions:
Obtain a recent copy of the Sunday newspaper for a large city
in the United States. (Note: Some of the major metropolitan
newspapers can be found in libraries and bookstores all over
the country.) Use the job postings to write an essay in which
you complete the tasks and answer the questions below:
1. List three positions where wages are paid in terms of an
annual salary. Why do these positions pay a salary
instead of an hourly wage?
2. List three positions where wages are paid in terms of an
hourly rate. Why do these positions pay an hourly rate
instead of a salary?
3. Which law regulates the determination of the form of
compensation? What are the legal requirements for a
position that pays a salary? Why do you think this law
was established?
4. List three positions where wages are paid in another
form besides salary or hourly. What are the other forms
of compensation? Why do you think these specific
methods have been chosen? How are these methods of
compensation more or less effective that hourly or salary
wages?
Your completed research assignment will consist of an essay
with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion and a Works
Cited page.
