Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job evaluation techniques are the best approach to determine a fair compensation for the employees. This involves analyzing the requirements of the job, including the skills, knowledge, and responsibilities, and assigning a value or rank to the job based on these factors. This will provide a fair and objective basis for setting compensation for the new employees. Conducting a job analysis would also be a helpful step in this process. Employment tests, wage and salary surveys, and performance review ranking systems may also be useful for other aspects of human resource management, but they are not the best approach for determining fair compensation.
