Understanding compensation …

Before I worked in human resources, compensation planning was a bit of a mystery. I’d been in management for years but I wanted to know things like …

How those HR types knew what to pay employees
Why they set up job grades
How they determined what range of pay was best for each job grade
How they set merit increase pools

Due to a corporate restructure, I was offered an opportunity to move from Admin to HR and all the answers to all my questions about comp planning were answered—in about six years. Yep, it took a while but I got a lot of answers, and ended up with a lot more questions.

I no longer work for that company or directly in HR. I work for Business and Legal Resources. BLR provides compliance guidance, tools, and time savers for HR professionals. As an editor of Compensation.BLR.com I talk with a lot of HR folks looking for solutions to their comp-related challenges. I hope to address some of those challenges in this blog and, with a little luck, learn some things from you as well.

I promise I won’t plug my day job too often but, let’s be real, you know I will every now and then.

I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your blog. It appears like some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Thanks
