Summary

• "Here is an illustrated guide to the mysteries and mystique of how people are compensated for their efforts in all types of organizations. Intensely practical, with clear discussions of what works, what doesn't, and why; Caruth and Handlogten's book covers such topics as job evaluation, job pricing, employee benefit programs, pay for performance, and also the compensation of executives, sales personnel, and international employees.
• Executives and managers with no special training in pay determination and management will find it an easily accessible handbook, a book that not only makes clear how compensation systems are conceived and developed, but most importantly, how they are implemented and administrated. Its logical presentation and full coverage makes the book valuable as a text for upper level college students as well, and a solid instructional resource for teachers."--BOOK JACKET.
