2.2.1 COMPENSATION:
In financial terms, the salary and wages you pay to your employees for the work they do. Other, nonfinancial forms of compensation can also be offered to attract and retain staff. Gary Dessler in his book Human Resource Management defines compensation in these words "Employee compensation refers to all forms of pay going to employees and arising from their
[7]
employment." The phrase 'all forms of pay' in the definition does not include non-financial benefits, but all the direct and indirect financial compensations. Compensation must be defined in a plan for many purposes. Each plan component can use a different definition of compensation. several ways. Compensation may be used to determine the amount of benefits accrued in a defined benefit plan or the amount of contributions allocated to accounts for a defined contribution plan. In addition to calculating the amount of benefits, compensation also places limits on the amount of benefits or allocations. When a mandatory top heavy benefit arises, compensation is used to determine the amount of the top heavy benefit. Compensation is also a factor when testing the plan for non- discrimination. Finally, compensation is used by the employer when figuring out the deduction limits. Because the definition of compensation has so many plan applications, it is important to be able to define and distinguish the requirements for compensation for various plan purposes. Items which are always required to be excluded from compensation for purposes of are as follows: Contributions made by the employer to deferred compensation plans to the extent that the contributions are not includible in the employees gross income. Distributions from deferred compensation plans. However, any amounts received by an employee pursuant to an unfunded non-qualified plan are permitted to be considered as compensation for IRC Section 415 purposes in the year the amounts are includible in the gross income of the employee. Amounts realized from the exercise of nonqualified stock options Amounts realized from the sale or exchange of stock acquired under a qualified stock option. Certain premiums for group-term life insurance. Therefore, a single plan may define compensation
Market research about the worth of similar jobs in the marketplace, Employee contributions and accomplishments, [8]
The availability of employees with like skills in the marketplace, The desire of the employer to attract and retain a particular employee for the value they are perceived to add to the employment relationship, and
The profitability of the company or the funds available in a non-profit or public sector setting, and thus, the ability of an employer to pay market-rate compensation.
2.2.2 BENEFITS:
Employees today are not willing to work only for the cash alone, they expect 'extra'. This extra is known as employee benefits. Also known as fringe benefits, Employee benefits are non-financial form of compensation offered in addition to cash salary to enrich workers lives. Employee benefits are various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. In instances where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit is generally referred to as a 'salary sacrifice' or 'salary exchange' arrangement. In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree. Examples of these benefits include: housing (employer-provided or employer-paid), group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other specialized benefits. The purpose of the benefits is to increase the economic security of employees. Employee benefits are not performance-based, they are membership-based. Workers receive benefits regardless of their performances. Employee benefits as a whole have no direct affect on employee performance, however, inadequate benefits do contribute to low satisfaction level and increase absenteeism and turnover in employees (De Cenzo and Robbins; 2007). So every company would have to carefully design their benefit package. Companys package may include a cell phone to each worker, taking them to a training workshop or seminar, giving them a day or two off every month and so on. While deciding on the benefits package, do consider the associated costs. Employees should be managed properly and motivated by providing best remuneration and compensation as per the industry standards. It is an integral part of the management of his [9]
organization. Compensation is a systematic approach to providing monetary value to employees in exchange for work performed. It may achieve several purposes assisting in recruitment, job performance, and job satisfaction. (Farhaan Panagar) . The lucrative compensation will also serve the need for attracting and retaining the best employees. . Compensation is the remuneration received by an employee in return for his/her contribution to the organization. It is an organized practice that involves balancing the work-employee relation by providing monetary and non-monetary benefits to employees. Susan M. Heathfield has said that compensation is the total amount of the monetary and nonmonetary pay provided to an employee by an employer in return for work performed as required. Compensation Includes writing job descriptions, conducting performance evaluations, and monitoring and administering benefits packages. (Anselmo L S Teng). Compensation is an integral part of human resource management which helps in motivating the employees and improving organizational effectiveness.
Need of Compensation Management A good compensation package is important to motivate the employees to increase the organizational productivity. Unless compensation is provided no one will come and work for the organization. Thus, compensation helps in running an organization effectively and accomplishing its goals. Salary is just a part of the compensation system, the employees have other psychological and self-actualization needs to fulfill. Thus, compensation serves the purpose.
The most competitive compensation will help the organization to attract and sustain the best talent. The compensation package should be as per industry standards Compensation and benefits is a sub-discipline of human resources, focused on employee compensation and benefits policy-making. (PJ Hayes)

2.3.2Advantage to Employees: 1. Peace of Mind: Company offering of several types of insurances to the workers relieves them from certain fears. Then workers as a result now work with relaxed mind. 2. Increases self-confidence: Every human being wants his/her efforts to get acknowledgment. Employees gain more and more confidence in them and in their abilities if they receive just rewards. As a result, their performance level shoots up. The area of Compensation and Benefits belongs to the most specialized areas in Human Resources Management. Compensation and Benefits usually plays the role of the HR Controlling, setting the rules and procedures around the salaries, variable pay and benefits.
[11]
Compensation and Benefits is usually the function of HRM most connected with the competitors on the market and it sets the compensation policies, which are fully competitive on the job market, but the policies still meet the targets defined by the organization. The clear definition of processes in Compensation and Benefits is very important as the processes are under the attacks from the line management every single day. There is no a day without a pressure for the salary review at the individual employees and the rules and standards must be waterproof.
Guaranteed pay:
Guaranteed pay is a monetary (cash) reward. The basic element of the guaranteed pay is the base salary, paid based on an hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly or a monthly rate. The base salary is typically used by employees for ongoing consumption. Many countries dictate the minimum base salary defining a minimum wage. Individual skills and level of experience of employees leave room for differentiation of income-levels within the job-based pay structure.
[12]
In addition to base salary, there are other pay elements which are paid based solely on employee/employer relations, such salary and seniority allowance.
Variable pay:
Variable pay is a monetary (cash) reward that is contingent on discretion, performance or results achieved. There are different types of variable pay plans, such as bonus schemes, sales incentives (commission), overtime pay, and more. An example where this type of compensation plan is prevalent is the real estate industry and real estate agents. A common variable pay plan might be the sales person receives 50% of every dollar they bring in up to a level of revenue at which they then bump up to 85% for every dollar they bring in going forward. Typically, this type of plan is based on an annual period of time requiring a "resetting" each year back to the starting point of 50%. Sometimes this type of plan is administered so that the sales person never resets and never falls down to a lower level. It also includes Performance Linked Incentive which is variable and may range from 130% to 0% as per performance of the individual as per his KRA.
Benefits:
There is a wide variety of employee benefits, such as paid time-off, insurances (life insurance, medical/dental insurance, and work disability insurance), pension plan, company car, and more. A benefit plan is designed to address a specific need and is often provided not in the form of cash. Many countries dictate different minimum benefits, such as minimum paid time-off, employers pension contribution, sick pay, and more.
[13]
Equity-based compensation:
Equity based compensation is an employer compensation plan using the employers shares as employee compensation. The most common form is stock options, yet employers use additional vehicles such as restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSU), employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), and stock appreciation rights (SAR). The classic objectives of equity based compensation plans are retention, attraction of new hires and aligning employees and shareholders interests.
Organizational place
In most companies, compensation & benefits (C&B) is a sub-function of the human-resources function. HR organizations in big companies are typically divided into three: HR business partners (HRBPs), HR centers of excellence, and HR shared services. C&B is an HR center of excellence, like staffing and organizational development (OD).
Main influencers
Employee compensation and benefits main influencers can be divided into two: internal (company) and external influencers. The most important internal influencers are the business objectives, labor unions, internal equity (the idea of compensating employees in similar jobs and similar performance in a similar way), organizational culture and organizational structure. The most important external influences are the state of the economy, inflation, unemployment rate, the relevant labor market, labor law, tax law, and the relevant industry habits and trends.
[14]
Bonus plans
Bonus plans are variable pay plans. They have three classic objectives: 1. Adjust labor cost to financial results the basic idea is to create a bonus plan where the company is paying more bonuses in good times and less (or no) bonuses in bad times. By having bonus plan budget adjusted according to financial results, the companys labor cost is automatically reduced when the company isnt doing so well, while good company performance drives higher bonuses to employees.
2. Drive employee performance the basic idea is that if an employee knows that his/her bonus depend on the occurrence of a specific event (or paid according to performance, or if a certain goal is achieved), then the employee will do whatever he/she can to secure this event (or improve their performance, or achieve the desired goal). In other words, the bonus is creating an incentive to improve business performance (as defined through the bonus plan). 3. Employee retention retention is not a primary objective of bonus plans, yet bonuses are thought to bring value with employee retention as well, for three reasons: a) a well designed bonus plan is paying more money to better performers; a competitor offering a competing joboffer to these top performers is likely to face a higher hurdle, given that these employees are already paid higher due to the bonus plan. b) if the bonus is paid annually, employee is less inclined to leave the company before bonus payout; often the reason for leaving (e.g. dispute with the manager, competing job offer) 'goes away' by the time the bonus is paid. the bonus plan 'buy' more time for the company to retain the employee. c) employees paid more are more satisfied with their job (all other things being equal) thus less inclined to leave their employer. The concept saying bonus plans can improve employee performance is based on the work of Frederic Skinner, perhaps the most influential psychologist of the 20th century. Using the concept of Operant Conditioning, Skinner claimed that an organism (animal, human being) is shaping his/her voluntary behavior based on its extrinsic environmental consequences i.e. reinforcement or punishment. This concept captured the heart of many, and indeed most bonus plans nowadays are designed according to it, yet since the late 1940s a growing body of [15]
empirical evidence suggested that these if-then rewards do not work in a variety of settings common to the modern workplace. Research even suggested that these type of bonus plans have the potential of damaging employee performance. Compensation is payment to an employee in return for their contribution to the organization, that is, for doing their job. The most common forms of compensation are wages, salaries and tips. {W Lewellen}
Employees get bonus two times in a year during two Eid festivals. In every year OPL gives 5% of benefits o the employees. In the field have the Medical Promotion Officer (MPO) achieve his sales together he gets 50% incentives. If any Employee achieve him target & in national ranking if he is 100, there is position of foreign tour. Sometime they receive the annual increments.

Much of a successful compensation strategy, especially in a competitive market, depends on what your competitors compensation systems include. Here are some of the most common components to consider when developing a compensation strategy.
Another source to check data through is the Department of Labor. The Employment Security Department is another potential data source. The data will likely be a couple of years old, so it may need to be aged to bring it up to current levels. I use the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator to help me age data. The calculator lets you plug in the amount and year of the data and will show you a result corrected for inflation. This is generalized, and if we can find better inflation data for our area, use that instead.
On the other hand, if you do need stars and you get too zealous about attracting them by being at the top of the market you may find yourself in a pickle when they want a raise. Then youll need to exceed the market, or risk the employees going to a competitor. Wages or salaries are often referred to as the base, meaning they form the basis of employee compensation, even if they are the entire employee compensation. This definition will be important later on. [18]
2.7.1 Commissions:
Commissions can be used several different ways: Replace a salary after an employee gets seasoned in the field.
Take the place of ever paying salary and wages. Be blended with salary and wages the whole time
Consider using commissions to supplement salaries (often called base plus commission) up to a certain percentage. You could also use different percentages to emphasize particular needed results. We could tie commissions to performance and sales to induce employees to achieve higher levels. Some successful companies give high salaries and low commissions, and some do the opposite. They choose depending on the industry expectations and the workforce development strategy. Bonuses, Wages, salaries, and commissions can all create a bow wave. That is, future wages, salaries, and commissions must exceed the current levels to seem to the employees like improvements. This can be true even if the economy is bad and revenue is down.
In my experience, bonuses are best used as rewards. I know some industries have long considered them as employee entitlements. However, if they become part of the base this way, they make the bow wave taller and harder for you as the employer to top in the next compensation negotiation. Another possible outcome is your employees will expect bonuses regularly even if their performance does not warrant them.
Make transportation green and cheap. Transit passes offered in your organization are a great way to participate in making our organization environmentally sensitive. There may be governmental inducements available to you for doing that. Promote healthy choices. We can also pair up with a neighborhood athletic club or gym, either for gift certificates or reduced membership for your employees.

Performance Appraisal Through performance appraisal process is still under reconstruction, the existing method is satisfactory and motivated staff toward accomplishment in the past. Employee Evaluation Employee evaluation process by Human Resource Department became strength for its fair judgment and put trust among the employees of all branches on Human Resource Department .
WEAKNESS of OPL:
Compensation and Benefits Compensation and Benefit of Opsonin Pharma Limited employee is provided by the Human Resource Department through software named Oracle. Those software is not flexible to use and has lot of limitation.
HR Accounting Human Resource accounting is a Strong tool for matching the benefits of each new recruitment done in the organization, turnover, etc. Human Resource Department of Opsonin Pharma Limited is not yet established this practice.
Job description is a necessary accomplishment should have for each position for recruiting the most suitable candidate on the basis of skill and experience required. Still hundred percent job descriptions is not prepared or collected by the HR department for branches.
OPPORTUNITY of OPL: Technical Procedure Eskaton Branch stay in a competitive place and they many competitor. In this branch, they have the technical procedures to overcome those competitors .All competitor always think about this branch and always think seriously. Provide quick service In Eskaton branch all customers always satisfy about employees service. All employees are careful about their service. In the service providing sector this phermacitical have perfume mind blowing performance. Market Capturing This branch is situated in eskaton branch, which is renowned as a commercial are and this area could be an opportunity for this organization. They have some shopping mall, restaurant, college and schools this is an opportunity for them because its not only phermacitical company they have many garments and so on.
Training & Learning Training & Learning is the core function for make the executives cope with the new senior and make them update and knowledgeable.

[23]
THREATS of OPL: Competitive Salary and Turnover The salary package of Opsonin Pharma Limited is not competitive as the market demands, so the turnover of manpower is increasing day by day. New /Multinational companies/Phermacitical Policy New multinational companies and phermacitical policy got as threat to Opsonin Pharma Limited is respect increasing the salary expectation of the employees and new HR practices tuning the existing employee dissatisfied.

internship program. So employees will also have easier access to HR department wherever they will require any approval. Similarly, the success of a office mainly depends on their officers & executives behavior, attitude, skills, knowledge, sharpness of work, experience, smartness, delivery of articulation, communication ability and last but not least manageable capacities etc. Necessary logistic support plays a vital role for improving and developing the services of a branch as well as organization. From the above discussion, we can conclude that skilled Manpower, capability and capacity of Officers/Executives give rise to an effective system.
[26]
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
From my three month of internship experience , I think the following measure could be taken by Opsonin Pharma Ltd authority for strengthening their position both in the local market and also across the globe. 1. Opsonin Pharma Limited should emphasize more to increase their market growth rate & market Share. 2. Evaluating for the good performance of the employees by introducing instant reward and incentives. 3. Opsonin Pharma Limited should try to perform some social responsibility like establishment of Hospital, providing medical facility to any rural areas for particular period of time. 4. For employee are not highly committed to their job. 5. Here loan processing is so much lengthy; it is bad for the employer. Try to avoid the lengthy process. 6. Weekly & monthly program should be organized. 7. Reward system can be introduced to employee as per the working performance. 8. Organization hierarchy. 9. In case of system design ,review and improvement.HR are not take input from all the employees department in many cases the performance standards, objectives are not clearly communicated to the employees ;as a result employees confused about what is expected from them. At the end I would like say that Bangladesh is poor country where we have to depend on import of foreign product for fulfillment of demand. But Pharmaceutical industry is an exception, which does not depend on foreign product rather we can fulfill our demand by ourselves. This is a great proud for us. Our Pharmaceutical product is full of outstanding quality. That day is not far away when Opsonin Pharmaceutical Ltd. will become a global based Company.
