Module 1 - SLPWAGE AND SALARY ADMINISTRATION

Pay Systems in U.S. Organizations 

Address the following in a well-integrated analysis:

Conduct reading and research on wage and salary pay systems in private-sector organizations.

• What did you learn about internal and external pay equity? Does it appear that employees are compensated for the worth of their contributions or on other factors?
• Give examples of factors that are used to determine the level of pay employees receive and how pay increases are determined (provide employer names from your research).
• In your educated opinion, what factors do you think should be used to determine the level of pay and how pay increases are determined? Why? 

Bring in at least 2 library sources to help strengthen and support your discussion.

For instruction on writing papers, citing sources, proper referencing, and so forth, use Trident University's Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper. See the following if additional guidance on APA style is needed:

SLP Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in the SLP rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria: 

• Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
• Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
• Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized, and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?
• Effective Use of Information: Does the submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?) sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
• Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?
• Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
