The Fundamentals of Compensation Strategies introduces you to the key element of total rewards: compensation. In this course, you’ll gain greater awareness of the different types of compensation and how the value of each type may vary depending on the organization and employee’s needs. You’ll look at regulatory topics that impact the compensation field and factors that promote fairness, transparency, and accountability. In the latter half of the course, you’ll look at designing a compensation strategy and the role the Compensation and Benefits Analyst plays in administering and managing to strategy elements.
In this module of the compensation section of your program, you’ll explore fundamental compensation concepts. You’ll start with the different types of direct compensation and the points in time when employees are likely to experience changes in those compensation areas. Then, you’ll learn about regulations that influence compensation and compensation strategies, including a closer look at the Fair Labor Standards Act, definitions of exempt and non-exempt and how it impacts base compensation. Finally, after a closer look at both variable and equity compensation, you’ll consider the importance of staying current on compensation regulations and trends.
