| Summary: | This case highlights issues related to the worth of a job. It is a challenging
task to recognise additional tasks done by employees, especially if the tasks are not
stated in the job description and not evaluated; therefore results and outcomes are
not compensated. Employees tend to question the employer’s individual equity on
them as well as the expectations of employers and the basis of compensation/
recognition. Employees tend to compare their compensation with those of their
internal colleagues as well as those of their external peers, that is, friends who work
for other organisations. Unfair compensation packages will lead to job dissatisfaction
and a loss of talent in the company concerned. |
