Podcasts about employee compensation

Genius doesn't come with a price tag until someone tries to take it from you. When brilliant minds create groundbreaking innovations during employment, who truly owns these inventions? This fascinating legal arena pits creators against corporations in battles that can span decades and result in multi-million-dollar verdicts.Meet John Peterson, the engineer who refused to surrender his weekend projects to a convenience store chain that claimed everything he created, even off the clock. His story of fighting Bukies' overreaching employment contract offers a masterclass in standing up for your intellectual property rights. Then there's Professor Shanks, whose glucose biosensor technology earned his employer £24 million. In comparison, he received nothing until a twenty-year legal battle culminated in a £2 million award and a landmark UK Supreme Court decision on "outstanding benefit."From patent grammar wars where a single verb tense determined ownership of HIV diagnostic technology to post-employment clauses that tried to claim an inventor's future ideas, we explore the fine print that can make or break inventor fortunes. We'll take you around the globe from Germany's sophisticated formulas for inventor compensation to China's statutory minimum payouts, revealing how different legal systems value creative minds. Whether you're sketching brilliance on napkins or developing prototypes in corporate labs, understanding your rights as an inventor has never been more crucial. As workplace innovation drives the modern economy, the law is finally catching up to ensure the minds behind the magic receive their fair share.Send us a text

Many agency owners reported in 2024 that one of the best things about their agencies are their employees. Despite continued biz dev struggles and slow sales cycles, agency owners have had a hard time shrinking their teams because they just love them that much. So, this week, let's talk about some of the ways we can think about agency employee compensation more holistically to show them our gratitude and continued support. Agencies continue to be really competitive environments, and many of our best employees will inevitably be approached by recruiters and other agencies at some point in their careers. And the best way to keep them around is through their compensation packages. But these shouldn't just be about high salaries and bonuses. While important, that's just the tip of the iceberg in showing our gratitude and support to our employees. In fact, the most impactful forms of compensation come from deeply knowing and respecting your team, and showing your personalized gratitude for their efforts and commitment to your agency. Join me on this week's solocast to dig a little deeper in how we can really get thoughtful about how we compensate our employees, not just with more money, but investing in their continued growth and your personal relationship with them.

In This Episode: Looking at agency employee compensation not as an obligation, but something you do out of gratitude Using raises as a reward for employees adding more value to the agency Giving bonuses or profit sharing to celebrate hitting monthly or quarterly goals as a team How a good benefits package gives you a competitive advantage against other agencies Personalized perks and thank-yous to reward individuals go a long way How to know when one of your employees has gone above and beyond Spending time getting to know your employees and caring for those personal relationships Develop your compensation philosophy based on your goals and values

Welcome back to Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is Employee Compensation Strategies 0:00: Mercer and Jeff discuss employee compensation strategies with a 360 view. 0:56: Compensation plans and their importance in business. Mercer shares stories of compensation plans gone wrong, highlighting the importance of careful planning to avoid unintended consequences. Jeff recounts his experience with a poorly structured comp plan as a minority owner in his agency, emphasizing the need for fair market value and added value to the organization. Jeff explains how sales bonuses work in his company, where he earns a percentage of the revenue above his salary threshold. Sauer's bonus structure incentivizes him to continuously sell more, with escalating percentages for higher sales amounts. 5:11: Sales compensation strategies and moving goalposts. Jeff shares his experience with a bonus structure that led to a moving goalpost, where the target kept increasing after being exceeded. Mercer agrees that the goalpost moving phenomenon is common in sales roles, where the focus is on commission-based income. Mercer also shares his experience in a non-sales role, where he found that salespeople were better compensated despite having a similar job function. 7:54: Sales compensation plans and their variations. Mercer describes his experience with a commission-based sales job, where they had to sell $20,000 to cover their $2,000 draw and could earn higher commissions above that threshold. He notes that managing salespeople with high targets can lead to demotivation, as it may be difficult to repeat past successes and maintain that level of performance. He discusses compensation plans for salespeople, including base salary, draw, quota, and bonus plans. Jeff highlights similarities and differences between various compensation plans, emphasizing terminology and outcome. 12:19: Commission-based sales structures and their challenges. Jeff shares his experience with 100% commission-based sales, noting that it can be risky for both the salesperson and the employer. He emphasizes the importance of having a threshold for bonus plans, based on revenue and profit rather than just revenue. 14:36: Compensation plans for business growth. Jeff emphasizes the importance of budgeting and adjusting comp plans based on sustainable revenue growth. Sauer's agency prioritizes recurring revenue and adjusts comp plans accordingly, with a focus on incremental business. Jeff and Mercer discuss the importance of revenue and profit in business, and how it can be challenging to measure and incentivize these metrics as the company grows. Mercer highlights the need to consider various aspects of compensation, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, to attract and retain the right team members. 19:23: Employee compensation strategies and team member motivation. Mercer reflects on a team meeting where members were not future-focused on retirement savings, but were open to compensation strategies like 401k matching. He implements a company matching 401k program to help team members save for retirement, with the goal of providing additional compensation. He reflects on his experience with company matching for 401k and other benefits, noting that it's not necessary to have a lot of money to offer compelling incentives. Mercer emphasizes the importance of understanding what motivates individual team members, whether it's stability or the potential for growth and risk-taking. Mercer says mistakes made with comp plans include paying too much too fast, raising salaries too fast, and lack of core motivation among team members. Adjusting comp plans based on team member motivation and company growth is crucial for success. 25:21: Employee motivation and comp plans. Jeff discusses motivation, bonuses, and organizational culture in a business setting. Jeff highlights the importance of understanding employer costs beyond salary, including benefits and taxes. 28:24: Employee compensation strategies based on role and individual motivations. Jeff agrees that figuring out people's motivations in the majority can make compensation plans better. Sauer customizes compensation plans by role and person, taking into account individual preferences for stability and upside. Mercer discusses customizing compensation plans based on role, not individual performance. Jeff emphasizes the importance of role-based compensation and the overall comp plan, rather than just individual performance.

In this episode we dive into a topic that resonates with all of us: salary negotiation. I'm your host, Allen Plunkett, and joining me on this episode are three remarkable guests, Amy Ancira from HireBetter, Keld Jensen from Thunderbird School of Global Management, and Rinkan Patel, a friend and seasoned professional with expertise spanning various industries. In this episode, we explore the art of negotiation from different angles. Amy kicks off the discussion by shedding light on the importance of creating safe spaces for open conversations between employees and employers. Keld Jensen, drawing from his extensive negotiation experience, shares invaluable insights on transforming negotiation from a confrontational win-lose scenario to a collaborative venture where both parties gain asymmetric value. Rinkan Patel, in his dual role as a hiring manager and a candidate, emphasizes the significance of preparation, realistic expectations, and recognizing various levers of compensation in negotiation. The conversation also touches on the evolving landscape of remote work and the challenges it presents for both employers and employees. So, if you're looking to understand the dynamics involved before you walk into that negotiation, you won't want to miss this insightful episode. Remember, negotiation isn't a conflict; it's a collaboration where both sides can find value and achieve their goals. Thanks again for listening to Rewired Mind.

In this episode, Nina Hershberger talks with Dr. Charles DeBettignies about the concept of gainsharing, a method of compensating employees based on the company's overall performance. Dr. Chuck has worked with over 400 service and manufacturing corporations to implement gainsharing, with impressive results. He has a doctorate in the field and has worked with major companies like ConAgra Foods, RCA, and PPG.Gainsharing is a system that aligns the goals of the employees with the goals of the company. It ties employees' pay to the overall outcome of the company, creating a game-like environment where everyone is focused on achieving the same result. Dr. Chuck explains that when employees see their pay directly linked to the company's performance, they become more engaged and motivated to contribute to the overall success.During the interview, Dr. Chuck uses the example of a dental office to illustrate how gainsharing can be implemented in various industries. He explains that by offering additional services to clients, such as teeth whitening, employees can improve revenue and benefit both the company and the clients. He emphasizes the importance of clear communication and training to ensure that employees feel comfortable offering these additional services and understand their benefits.Dr. Chuck distinguishes gainsharing from profit sharing, highlighting that gainsharing provides real-time feedback to employees and offers monthly payouts based on performance. This immediate connection between performance and reward is more motivating for employees compared to year-end profit sharing bonuses, which can become an entitlement over time.He also addresses the question of how productivity improvements can be measured and reveals that a 5% improvement in productivity is a reasonable expectation. By focusing on the key drivers of the company's bottom line, identifying areas for improvement, and continuously refining the system, employees can achieve significant productivity gains.Dr. Chuck encourages companies to embrace gainsharing as a tool to increase employee engagement and satisfaction. He believes that when employees see the direct impact of their actions on the company's success, they become more invested in their work and motivated to perform at their best.To learn more about Dr. Charles DeBettignies and gainsharing, listeners can visit Gainsharing.com/podcast.

Jason Mercier of the Washington Policy Center states, ‘state and local government employment contracts should not be negotiated in secret.' https://bit.ly/3fvwaE4 #Opinion #Columns #Commentary #JasonMercier #WashingtonPolicyCenter #JayInslee #GovernmentEmployees #CompensationTalks #WashingtonStateLegislature #OpenPublicMeetingsAct #CivicOpennessInNegoations #VancouverWa #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday

This Podcast Is Episode Number 489, And It's About Construction Company Employee Compensation And A Note On Taxes There are a few different methods that employers use to pay their employees, and while they may have similarities, they each also have implications for your construction business and employees. On top of that, there may be a blended model at play, in which you offer two types of compensation at once, such as a wage and bonuses.    When paying employees, laws and the IRS have made the payroll function a time-consuming nightmare for the small business owner.   Small business owners spend an average of eight hours monthly performing payroll functions. That's 12 full business days a year that could be spent generating sales, prospecting for new business opportunities, improving products or services, or servicing customers.   How you pay your construction employees will impact your finances and your reporting requirements. Read on to learn the differences between the main ways of earning money in the workplace. Wages Most entry-level positions offer an hourly wage in exchange for work. An hourly wage might be $20. So if the employee works 8 hours that day, they would be compensated $160 for that day. The minimums set by law vary depending on where the business operates. Typically, the minimum wage is directly related to the cost of living in that area.  Generally, a set number of hours can be worked in a week, and working beyond that maximum entitles the employee to a higher pay rate. There may be premiums associated with working undesirable shifts or an even higher pay rate that employees are entitled to for working on holidays. Because of the number of hours worked, the specific days worked, and overtime, the amount an employee will potentially earn each year can vary widely when paid with hourly wages. Salary A salary is the standard compensation for management and upper-level positions. It is an agreed-upon annual total, where a certain number of hours worked per week is expected – typically 35 to 40. Other requirements will be outlined, such as how many days per week are expected. Depending on the schedule, the total salary is divided into equal payments for each pay period. Often, compensation is agreed to as an annual figure, with each paycheck equally divided by the number of payments. If you pay an employee a salary of $60,000 yearly once a month over 12 months, you will pay $5,000 each, not accounting for any deductions. How a company manages its payment schedule will vary from company to company. Other pay, such as overtime, commissions, or bonuses, are separate from salary. Many companies don't offer overtime pay for extra hours worked, but they may offer commissions or bonuses for performance. Commission This is a form of compensation that is based on performance. The amount an employee receives can vary drastically, depending on how well they perform in a pay period. The commission is typically a calculated percentage of goods or services sold. It is meant as an incentive to drive employees to make sales. For example, you may offer to pay $100 as a commission for each deal closed. An employee selling ten service subscriptions in the pay period would receive a $1,000 commission.  All earnings made by commission are counted as taxable income. Some salaried or hourly positions offer a commission on top of regular earnings. However, some positions, especially those in sales, can be based solely upon commission. This means that employees don't get paid if they don't sell anything. Bonuses A bonus is a compensation type that is not guaranteed. It is usually tied to some company goal, driven by sales or performance. A bonus might be awarded individually or to a team or other work group. The idea behind a bonus is to create an incentive to meet a specific goal. It is rewarded when the goal has been reached or evaluated at particular times. Bonuses are offered on top of a wage, salary, or commission.  Because of the unofficial structure, bonuses are loved by some and loathed by others. It can be motivating to receive a bonus, as it's completely separate from what an employee already earns. However, it can also leave employees feeling disgruntled if they feel they weren't supported well enough to reach the goal and missed out on the bonus. If the goals are unrealistic, employees may also struggle with motivation even if they are offered a bonus.  Some construction company owners usually decide by the end of the year if their employees deserve a Holiday or Year-End Bonus.  The key questions to ask yourself: Can I afford to give a bonus? Can I afford to provide a reward for my employees? Do I want to give a bonus to each of my employees? How do I decide how much Bonus I should give? Reality Check: Is bonus taxable? Starting with the last question: In most cases, it may be taxable. All income is subject to State, Federal Payroll Taxes and is part of the employee's W-2. All forms of income, including bonuses, are income to your employee.  The most common is to give your employee a set amount known as a 'Net Check". It would not seem the same to say, "here is your bonus for $200.00," but the actual check received is $169.04. Your employee will think you are tacky and cheap, and you can afford to give them a Big Bonus.  Instead, you give the employee a check for $200.00, and the company pays all the payroll taxes. The bonus value is much higher when a check is grossed up (meaning you, the employer, pay all the taxes, company half, employee half of Social Security, Medicare, Federal Withholding, State, and Local Taxes). Final Thoughts We know that when it comes to compensation and payroll service, no one size fits all. Whatever payment structure your construction company follows, ensure you are consistent and fair as an employer and obey all applicable laws. We offer payroll solutions that meet your business's needs and enable you to spend time doing what you do best - running your company. As we have been where you are now, we know that as construction business owners, you are selling your time first and your skill second. Your time as the contractor is the most valuable, so I hope you are doing tasks that only you can do.

Tom Schearer, https://www.schearers.com/ (Schearer's Sales and Service), Allentown, PA Key Talking Points Ethics means doing what is right, not what is easy.  Integrity: Doing the right thing even when nobody is looking. The hard part is that “ethical” is so subjective. There will never be one iron-clad “ethics manual” because one's ethics are based on so many factors such as Upbringing, culture, faith, tradition, etc. Guide customers and be transparent- the value proposition is based on integrity and ethics DVI's- adds to ARO and gives customers a report they deserve  What is your shop's character? How do you care about your customer's and employees' safety? "Rules of Engagement" - identify what you want instead of focusing on what you don't want  Ask the right questions- “discovery conversation” building trust Ethics are continually evolving due to many factors such as technology, changing societal norms, science, hard lessons, etc. Ethics as it applies to automotive service: Pricing, Employee Compensation, Warranty: how much do you need to cover in the case of a part failure that you won't be reimbursed for?

In this HRchat we hone in on employee financial wellbeing. Bill Banham is joined by Darius Chehrzad, the Chief Commercial Officer at Paytient, a company focused on helping people better access affordable care. Paytient works with employers, partners, brokers, and health systems to provide a healthier way to pay for out-of-pocket care expenses.Questions Include:How does something like Paytient fit into an employer's benefits offering?What does it mean to say affordability in healthcare has moved one step forward and two steps back? What is the effect of OOP increasing on our physical and financial well-being? What is the effect of members not being able to pay medical bills?What is the effect of this on providers? How does this come back in higher fees and premiums?What are the non-obvious implications that HR is missing? When employees are not getting care, what are the long-term effects?With this cycle of price increases and people not getting care, there seems to be a big focus on HDHP to try to keep costs down. How does Paytient help with this transition?We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

Hi everyone, this is Cece, thanks for tuning in. I cannot believe there's only 2 months left so I want to finish this year strong! Things have been great and I have been traveling a lot so I am exhausted! Aside from the 3 remaining episodes for this season, I have so many bonus episodes I'd like to share! Recently I got a lot of questions about pay and compensation, so I thought I'd re-broadcast this chat I had with David Weaver earlier this year during the lockdown. David is the award-winning author and podcast host called Pay Matters. Compensation is such a sensitive topic and most of us do not feel comfortable talking about it. We all want to get paid fairly and competitively for what we do. How much are you worth? Compensation is never just about money.  What matters to people at different stages of life should be taken into account.  But I do think people care about company culture and values, flexibility, community and contributions, and the sense of belonging, feeling that they are part of something greater than themselves. We all want to have a truly fulfilling personal and professional life. Enjoy the episode!   About David Weaver: David is the President of Compensation and HR group.  He's also the award-winning author of Pay Matters: The Art and Science of Employee Compensation. He's an influential and highly skilled Compensation Consultant with extensive experience working with senior leaders in Human Resources to design and implement compensation programs seamlessly.  He has strong background in compensation program design, salary surveys, base pay, incentive plans, executive compensation, total rewards, sales incentives, performance management, job evaluation, global compensation, FLSA reviews and employee engagement surveys.

Attracting and retaining employees is top of mind for all business leaders today. The Great Resignation of 2021 has seen employees leaving their jobs in unprecedented numbers. 50 percent are naming better pay and benefits as a key reason for leaving their jobs. With our health at the forefront of much of the conversation during the global pandemic—physical, emotional, and mental—it's a wonder that more employers haven't yet revamped a key component of an employer's benefits package: health insurance. In this HRchat episode, we ask how employers can attract talent with excellent benefits packages that won't break the bank.Bill's guest this time is John Butler, President at JB Benefits Consulting LLC.With over 25 years of experience in workplace benefits, John has written a new book that explores innovative approaches to healthcare that every business should consider.In his new book, Health Insurance Sucks, John uncovers the world of business healthcare and delivers new solutions that you could implement today. The book aims to provide you with an entirely new way of approaching healthcare for employees and to arm you with every weapon you need to fight against big insurance, big pharma, and the big government players that have dominated for decades. You could be on offense rather than continuing to play defense against skyrocketing premiums and deteriorating benefits.In fact, the book takes all the rules levied by insurance companies and pharmacy companies, and even the US federal and state governments, and uses those same exact rules in an attempt to beat them at their own game.

Whether you work for a public company, a large private company, or a startup, as you advance in your career you may be eligible for several benefits meant to reward key employees. These benefit packages are designed to promote retention and to allow employees to share in a company's success. While executive compensation packages can be lucrative, they come with complex tax rules and financial planning considerations that need to be evaluated at least annually.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Ayanna Edwards, Head of People at HackerOne. Prior to HackerOne, she was employed with Ultimate Software, working in business operations, business analysis, talent, and people operations. About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.To learn more about AllVoices visit us at www.allvoices.co!

Compensation doesn't have to be that necessary evil you throw over to HR. When done right, tt can actually be a tool that you can use to align and win together as an organization.

In this HRchat interview, we talk about why total reward data is an important resource for organizations trying to respond to the impact of Covid-19 as we consider some recent findings that suggest a new focus needs to be given to the roll-out of automation and digitization of reward management.Bill's guest this time is Ken Charman, CEO at uFlexReward, an HR and rewards data platform that collates all costs to do with employees (salary, pension, bonus, shares, etc) into one real-time platform.uFlexReward recently published the results of the uFlexReward Digital Reward survey. The poll had responses from 30 key companies across various industries such as Engineering, Oil & Gas, and Healthcare. Findings include the suggestion that 73% of companies calculated pay equity without including all categories of reward, and the majority of respondents said their companies only generate pay equity data once a year. Listen and learn: Why is Total Rewards data especially critical right now for organizations trying to get out the other side of Covid-19?How has calculating pay equity been made more complicated as a result of covid and blended/hybrid workforces and what do your findings suggest? Why are traditional fixed salary and one-size-fits-all benefits packages archaic?Want to learn more? You can hear from Ken and Peter Newhouse, Global Head of Reward at Unilever in episode 198. In that conversation, we focus on why total reward data is an important resource for organizations trying to respond to the impact of Covid-19 in ways that allow for the retention of employees. 

COVID-19 has created a lot of change for many individuals and families.
