27. Closing Thoughts
• How employees are “compensated” takes many forms –
salary, benefits, working conditions,
challenging/stimulating work, co-workers, etc. The right
“mix” for each person is different
• Pay policies will differ for every employer – some will
focus on cash compensation and some will focus on Total
Compensation
• The employer’s main goal is structuring compensation and
benefit programs is to be able to attract and retain the right
employees needed to help the employer be competitive
28. Closing Thoughts
• Employee benefits have huge budget impacts to employers
• Benefits are the “hidden paycheck” for employees
• Employees need to understand the “total compensation” an
employer provides – not just the “salary.” Employers need to
sell Total Compensation – not just salary
• Employees need to be “educated consumers” of benefit
programs – especially health care and retirement programs
• Employees should take advantage of retirement plan offerings
and save early (time value of $$) – and always save enough to
at least take advantage of employer’s matching contribution
