1 Define your comp strategy

Before you can analyze and adjust your comp ratios, you need to have a clear and consistent compensation strategy that aligns with your business goals, values, and culture. Your comp strategy should define how you determine the market rate for each position, how you set pay ranges and bands, how you reward performance and potential, and how you communicate and review your compensation practices. Having a well-defined comp strategy will help you avoid arbitrary or inconsistent decisions that could create comp ratio discrepancies or outliers.

Compensation strategies grow out of a compensation philosophy: Do you want to lead the market, be at the market, or be behind the market? Do you want to be pay for performance or pay for service? Do you want to have a lot of variable compensation or a little? All of these answers depend on the type of organization you are, but it's important to get clear on these answers because they will drive how you set up your compensation structures.

2 Conduct regular comp audits

To keep track of your comp ratios, you need to conduct regular comp audits that compare your employees' pay to the market rate and to their peers. You can use various sources of data, such as salary surveys, benchmarking tools, or industry reports, to assess the market rate for each role and level. You can also use internal data, such as performance reviews, skills assessments, or career paths, to evaluate the relative value of each employee. A comp audit will help you identify any comp ratio discrepancies or outliers that may indicate underpaying or overpaying issues.

These Audits can be part of the salary planning/ increment process. Thus salary increment Matrix can factor additional increment for below minimum cases or discount for above maximum cases.

3 Address underpaying issues

If your comp audit reveals that some of your employees are underpaid compared to the market rate or their peers, you need to address this issue promptly and fairly. Underpaying employees can lead to low morale, high turnover, and legal risks. You can use various methods to adjust the pay of underpaid employees, such as giving them a salary increase, a bonus, a promotion, or a recognition award. You should also communicate the reasons and criteria for the pay adjustment, and ensure that it is consistent with your comp strategy and budget.

4 Address overpaying issues

If your comp audit reveals that some of your employees are overpaid compared to the market rate or their peers, you need to address this issue carefully and respectfully. Overpaying employees can lead to inefficiency, inequity, and resentment. You can use various methods to adjust the pay of overpaid employees, such as freezing their salary, reducing their bonus, reassigning them to a different role or level, or offering them a voluntary pay cut. You should also communicate the reasons and criteria for the pay adjustment, and ensure that it is respectful of their contributions and expectations.

Being in overpaid category is never a good place to be for employees. They will not find a job in the market, also not considered efficient enough being a high cost resource. Companies should make an effort to communicate in an empathetic way to employees and help employees grow. The responsibility also lies on employees to take care of their development. Till then a reduced or no increment or one time payouts can be a option for employers.

I've some success with being open with them about the market data we rely on. Many didn't want to accept it at first, but eventually accepted that is the data the company will rely on. Then I followup with illustrations of what higher pay range jobs entail and see if they think they could qualify. It at least focuses their desire for more pay in the right direction. For those not interested in advancement it validates that they are among the most highly paid in their field. I then suggest to management that some low/no cost recognition and perks be looked into.

5 Monitor and review your comp ratios

Comp ratios are not static, but dynamic and changing over time. You need to monitor and review your comp ratios regularly to ensure that they reflect the current market conditions, business needs, and employee performance. You should also solicit feedback from your employees and managers on how they perceive and value your compensation structure, and how it affects their motivation and satisfaction. By monitoring and reviewing your comp ratios, you can ensure that they are aligned with your comp strategy and goals, and that they support your employee retention and engagement.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of compensation planning (and addressing discrepancies) is budgeting. While it is critical to have a proper strategy in place, along with audits and monitoring, before any change can be made, there has to be a proper flow of information between HR, Finance and other key stakeholders. Compensation changes affect budgets and any plan of action has to include this important step. Additionally, Talent Management has to be aware of the potential morale and cultural impact of any compensation changes particularly in a world where pay transparency is becoming more and more important.
