CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

The project was carried out at EPCOS India Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai. The title of this project is The Study of Salary and Wage Administration. The objective of the study is to analyze the Salary Administration in EPCOS India Pvt. Ltd.

The study was conducted to know the structure and salary provided by the Company to its employees. In this project, I studied about the present salary compensation of EPCOS along with the evaluation of the incentives, bonus, and allowances given to the employees.

I also studied the execution of Provident Fund, Gratuity, and Encashment of leave for the final payment of the employee when he/ she leave the company. During the course of project, I got the clear idea about the salary structure and about the overall functioning of the organization.

Introduction:

The payment of wages and salary is an inbuilt system with human force for their activity performed. To what extent the payment of wages & salary is reasonable and adequate in consonance to the nature of the work performed, is a question mark. The reason attributed, is the existence of very large labour force and availability of abundant work force whether it is a farm sector of industrial sector. The supply of labour is more then the demand and with the result there is exploitation of cheap labour policy. Later the advent of trade unionism helped to improve the working conditions of labour. Until the Second World War, event the Government adopted a LAISSEZ FAIRE policy in this regard. It was as late as in 1947, that the industrial unrest become so uncontrollable that a tripartite conference was convened of (1) Central and State Govt. (2) Employers, and (3) Employees, which resulted in the industrial trade resolution. It was realized that increase in production was not possible without the fullest cooperation between management and labour. This led to appointment of the fair wages committee and profit sharing bonus committee. Thus, the lot of the worker began to improve of the living. Wages Vs Salary: Payment made to labour is generally referred to as wages. Money paid periodically to persons whose output cannot to be easily measured, such as clerical staff as well as supervisory and managerial staff, is referred to as salaries. Salaries are thus paid generally on a monthly basis and at the times the elements of incentive is introduced in the form of commission, for e.g. paid to salesmen in addition to their salaries. However, it is in area of labour that there are several types of methods of wage payment. Systems of Wage Payment:

In case of worker, the wages are depend generally on the rates of wages which may be barely rate or time rate or leased on a piece rate, that is, dependent on workers output. There are also various combinations of not only time & piece rate systems, but also several premium plans adopted with a view to incorporate the incentive element and motivate the worker. In addition, there are collective wage payments also. Time of wage Payment: Under this system, the work is paid a certain sum for a fixed period of time that is so much per hour or per day or month. The main advantages under this system are the followings: I. It is simple in calculation

II. The worker does not rush the job and spoil the quality through a temptation of earning more The following are however the drawbacks of the system: I. The worker being assured of a fixed payment for the time spend is not tempted to work harder or more productivity as he is not rewarded for the extra effort. II. The superior worker often tries to protect his slower colleagues by the slacking off himself.

III. The superior worker is discouraged as, although he is more productive, he is paid the same amount. He therefore slackens off over a period time. The system is satisfactory from the viewpoint of providing incentive to work harder and more productivity

The piece wage system: In this system, the worker is paid a fixed rate per unit produced or job completed. The rate is normally developed on the basis of analysis of previous performance and establishment of average performance of a particular standard of workmanship. The following are the advantages of The Piece Wage System: I. As the worker is paid more when he produces more, he is inclined to put forth his best efforts. This results in increased productivity, which benefits both the employer and employee. II. III. The employee helps management in avoiding delays through breakdown. The superior worker is induced to work hard as at the end of the period he

finds that his pay is large than that of lazy of worker. IV. In his effort to produce more, the worker may disregard the spoiling of his

tools and machinery used by him for the production. V. It is paid merely on the basis of the number of items produced without regard to quality. The quality of the production is likely to decline. There is thus a tendency to sacrifice quality in favour of quantity. VI. This system may result in excessive fatigue as the employee tries to work his

hardest and his maximum speed to earn as much as he can.

Premium Bonus Method:

As in the piece wage system, the employee is not guaranteed any minimum wage in case the supply of labour is abundant, the piece-wage rate could be so lowered as to lead to sweating and other evils. Because of this, trade unions began to object the piece-wage system. They pressed for a guarantee of a fair minimum wage in connection with certain trends. As a result, of this, a number of systems of wage payments emerged technically known as progressive wage systems.

IMPORTANCE OF COMPENSATION:

Compensation and Reward system plays vital role in a business organization. Since, among four Ms, i.e. Men, Material, Machine and Money, Men has been most important factor, it is impossible to imagine a business process without Men. Every factor contributes to the process of production/business. It expects return from the business process such as rent is the return expected by the landlord, capitalist expects interest and organizer i.e. entrepreneur expects profits. Similarly the labour expects wages from the process. Labour plays vital role in bringing about the process of production/business in motion. The other factors being human, has expectations, emotions, ambitions and egos. Labour therefore expects to have fair share in the business/production process. Therefore a fair compensation system is a must for every business organization. The fair compensation system will help in the following: An ideal compensation system will have positive impact on the efficiency and results produced by employees. It will encourage the employees to perform better and achieve the standards fixed. It will enhance the process of job evaluation. It will also help in setting up an ideal job evaluation and the set standards would be more realistic and achievable. Such a system should be well defined and uniform. It will be apply to all the levels of the organization as a general system.

19

The system should be simple and flexible so that every employee would be able to compute his own compensation receivable. It should be easy to implement, should not result in exploitation of workers. It will raise the morale, efficiency and cooperation among the workers. It, being just and fair would provide satisfaction to the workers. Such system would help management in complying with the various labour acts. Such system should also solve disputes between the employee union and management. The system should follow the management principle of equal pay. It should motivate and encouragement those who perform better and should provide opportunities for those who wish to excel. Sound Compensation/Reward System brings peace in the relationship of employer and employees. It aims at creating a healthy competition among them and encourages employees to work hard and efficiently. The system provides growth and advancement opportunities to the deserving employees. The perfect compensation system provides platform for happy and satisfied workforce. This minimizes the labour turnover. The organization enjoys the stability.

20

The organization is able to retain the best talent by providing them adequate compensation thereby stopping them from switching over to another job. The business organization can think of expansion and growth if it has the support of skillful, talented and happy workforce. The sound compensation system is hallmark of organizations success and prosperity. The success and stability of organization is measured with pay-package it provides to its employees.

INTRODUCTION TO SALARY ADMINISTRATION

What is Salary?

The Roman word salarium linked employment, salt and soldiers, accepting salt from a person was synonymous with drawing sustenance, taking pay, or being in that person's service. Soldiers were known to have been paid, and maintain instead that the salarium was an allowance for the purchase of salt, at that time salt production was strictly controlled by the monarchy or ruling elite. Today, the idea of a salary continues to evolve as part of a system of all the combined rewards that employers offer to employees. Salary (also now known as fixed pay) is coming to be seen as part of a "total rewards" system which includes variable pay (such as bonuses? incentive pay, and commissions), benefits and perquisites (or perks), and various other tools which help employers link rewards to an employee's measured performance. A salary is a form of periodic payment from an employer to an employee, which is specified in an employment contract. From the point of view of running a business, salary can also be viewed as the cost of acquiring human resources for running operations, and is then termed personnel expense or salary expense. In accounting, salaries are recorded in payroll accounts. Salary is compensation to an employee for services rendered on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. Salary is usually associated with office employees, supervisors, managers and professional and technical staff. In any organization, salaries and wages constitute a significant portion of the cost of operation of the business.

22

Difference between Salary, Wage and Compensation:

Salary refers to the monetary payment on a monthly or annual basis. Wages are the remuneration paid by the employer for the service of a worker who is engaged by the hour, days, week or fortnight. Wages are payments to hourly-rated production and maintenance employee. Compensation refers to all forms of financial returns, tangible services and benefits employees receive as a part of an employment relationship. Compensation may be received directly in the form of cash (wage, bonus, incentives) or indirectly through services and benefits (pensions, health insurance, vacations).

23

What is Salary Administration?

Salary administration refers to the establishment and implementation of sound policies and practices of employees compensation. Salaries represent a significant portion of the total costs in most of the organizations and so it requires sound administration. The control of salary level is of paramount importance even though the amount of control which can be exerted may vary among organizations and within an organization.

Pay can influence employees work behaviours and attitudes. It becomes crucial for managers to ensure that pay systems are designed and administered in fair and equitable manner. The salary administration is thus concerned with the monetary or financial aspects of needs, motivation rewards. The responsibility for salary administration usually lies with the top management.

24

1. Control of cost 2. Establishment of fair and equitable structure of remuneration 3. Utilization of wages and salaries as an incentive to greater employee productivity 4. Maintenance of a satisfactory public image 5. Determination of the system of job description and job evaluation 6. Decision of what and how people will be paid 7.

CHAPTER 5: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Introduction: Research is an art of scientific investigation through search of new facts in any branch of knowledge. It is movement from unknown to known. The study of research methodology gives the student the necessary training in gathering materials required, and also training in technique for the collection of data appropriate to particular problem. It helps in the use of statistics, questionnaire and controlled experimentation and in recording evidences, sorting it out and interpreting it. Knowledge of research methodology is helpful in various fields. Research methodology plays key role in project work. It consists of series of actions or steps necessary to effectively carry out research and the desired sequencing of these steps. Basic features of a research process are: Research always starts with a question or a problem. Its purpose is to find answers to questions through the application of scientific method. It is a systematic and intensive study directed towards a more complete knowledge of the subject studied.

40

Methods of Data Collection

Data collection is an elaborate process in which the researcher makes a planned search for all relevant data and is the foundation of all researches. It is the raw material with which a researcher functions. The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research plan is chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the study the researcher should keep in mind two types of data viz., primary data and secondary data.

Sources of Data

A. Secondary data:

Secondary data is the data already collected by others for purposes other than solution of the problem at hand. In case of Secondary data the nature of data collection work is merely that of compilation. Secondary data has several supplementary uses.

1.

Internal sources: Company Records. Service Reports. Annual Report. Company Brochure. Company Library. 41

2. External sources Web pages of organizations and journals. Reference Books. Magazines. Newspapers.

B. Primary data:

The data that is being collected for the first time or to particularly fulfil the objectives of the project are known as primary data. In my study work, stratified simple random sampling was the method of Data Collection.

Data Evaluation

All the data and information collected from the secondary sources and company officials was filtered & only relevant data is introduced in the report which helped in achieving objective of the project. This relevant data is finally evaluated to make the final report and to draw the conclusion

42

CHAPTER 6: DATA ANALYSIS The data used for analysis is secondary data through internal sources.

CHAPTER 7: FINDINGS OF STUDY

According to this survey, I could conclude following: -

1. Compensation has major impact coming out of age and experience i.e. more age, more experience, more CTC. Therefore, more the length if the service, higher the

50

2. As the industry goes number of settlements, it reaches to saturation point, then the increase in the direct wages is minimum.

3. As it matures to saturation point, more benefits come out of facilities and benefits rather than rise in direct wages.

4. Any entrepreneur business organization is run to earn profits and ultimately to make money. In a typical manufacturing set up the buyer i.e. customer decides the product price. A product consists of following cost put on it.

Raw material cost Labour cost Overheads Scheduled profit out of that product

In the above cost, the end customer has always expectation of lowering it or to maintain at same level. However, out of above item, raw material cost and labour cast will have always incremental effect. So to have better profit out of manufacturing, you need to have control over overheads as well as labour cost.

CHAPTER 8: SUGGESTIONS & CONCLUSION

SUGGESTIONS: -

Take care of changes in IT rules Company does compensation restructuring based on change in income tax rules.

52

According to survey, to maintain the morale of the employees, management should keep their compensation plan competitive with similar industry.

Transport Facility:-

The company may provide transport facility rather than giving Conveyance allowance. On giving an informal talk with employee of the company, it was found that the employees are more interest in having pick- up and drop facility.

Festival Advance:-

Company may provide a festival advance facility which will prove more beneficial for the employees and which will help them in fulfilling their needs arising during the course of any festive occasion.

Salary Survey:-

Company should conduct salary survey to find out and study recent patterns in similar industry. Based on the finding of such surveys they should restructure the compensation.

Flexible To Suit Added Liabilities:-

53

As employees grow in the organization, simultaneously his family liabilities also grow. To accommodate such liabilities like children education, dependent family members marriage, and medical expenses this should be considered in deriving compensation package.

Continuous Training And Rewards:-

In the competitive era, to keep feet one need to continuously upgrade him by way of knowledge base and develop things which may utilize for organizational development. Thus, there has to be proper consideration for rewarding such things.

CONCLUSION: -

From this project report, I could conclude that compensation management plays integral role in obtaining organizational goals. 1. Any compensation program must have the strong linkage to the profitability at the production level and business level.

54

2. The program should ensure that it establishes accountability, ownership and service orientation at all level. 3. The key to motive employees is compensation package i.e. direct wages are low but other benefits are more which are based on productivity. They vary according to productivity. 4. Compensation helps to retain competent employees in the organization. 5. Attractive compensation package also enhance the competitiveness of the company.
