 COMPENSATION
SYSTEM OF HMB
DESIGNING COMPENSATION SYSTEM

There are certain aspects that must be considered while designing compensation system for
any organization. These aspects are:
Internal consistency in compensation system
Market competitiveness in compensation system
Employee contribution in pay structure

Internally consistent compensation system

Internally consistent pay system defines the relative worth of each job within a company on
the bases of which job structures are designed. It is due to internal consistency that makes
easier for the compensation manager to identify the differences in jobs in terms of
compensable factors and set the pay accordingly.
HMB consider internal consistency as a core factor before setting pay design for particular
job. The reason is to bring a balance among all jobs in terms of valuing them.

Job Description and Job Evaluation--- Tools for internal

consistency

In order to have internal consistency HMB has job descriptions that define the required skills
knowledge and abilities for particular job along with job related tasks, responsibilities and
duties.
Along with clear job descriptions HMB uses job evaluation techniques for bringing internal
consistency with in company. HMB uses both job evaluation techniques that are market based
evaluation and job content evaluation for the jobs of only top management. The reason they
do not follow the same pattern for all jobs is that after 2006-07 hierarchical structure of HMB
was changed. They have not upgraded the whole evaluation system till now due to that
hierarchical transformation and evaluation of top management jobs has become possible up to
now.
The most common compensable factors HMB consider for evaluation are skills and
knowledge of employees related to particular job.

Market Competitive Compensation System

Market competitive compensation system represents the policies of companies that can give
the company competitive advantage in the market. Such system can be designed by
conducting strategic analysis, examining the competitors pay practices with compensation
surveys or by any other method, integrating the internal structure of jobs with external market
pay rates and by determining the pay policies of the company.
HMB believes that there must be market competitive compensation system and they have
such system at work. Currently in HMB employees from same job family at same job levels
receive unequal pays. The reason is compensable factors. Employees of a particular job level
possess more skills and knowledge than other employees of same job level would definitely
be compensated accordingly and in order to have market competitiveness in system HMB do
so. HMB follows benchmark system for the sake of compensation survey. It is linked with a
company named Hewitt which provide market survey data. It also provides information of
 COMPENSATION
SYSTEM OF HMB
competitors policies and practices that are helpful in comparison for further improvement as
well.

Designing Compensation Policies

HMB does not follow one size fits all policy for paying to its employees.
HMB designs compensation policies while taking into consideration of such factors like
internal consistency of pay structure, market competitive pay system, information of market
and competitors. HMB believes that by taking information of all aspects effective and fair
policies can be designed by policy makers. Along with that, HMB considers three aspects as
important, these are performance of employee, and his /her previous performance appraisal
and what pay is currently prevailing in market for specific job family. On the bases of these
factors HMB set three categories of employees named alpha, beta and gamma categories.
Employees are also divided into three categories, one with outstanding performance,
previous performance appraisal and knowledge and skill set are put into Alpha category. One
with a little below in all above criteria than employees of Alpha category is put into Beta
category and all others into Gamma categories. In this way all employees are treated and
compensated fairly in compliance with policies of company.
HMB has a little different policy making procedure for compensation bur it keeps into
consideration that its pay rates does not fall below or above of the market pay rates. It means
it follows market match policy in setting pay rates.
HMB offers commissions along with pay to those employees who are directly involved in
sales and marketing activities of company. These commission plans vary according to job
duties and responsibilities and they are paid periodically to the deserving employees.

Employee Benefits

`There are three types of employee benefits and these are:

1. Discretionary benefits
2. Employer-sponsored retirement plans and health insurance programs
3. Legally required benefits

Discretionary employee benefits are also called voluntary benefits. The goals which
employers hope to achieve when offering discretionary benefits are: protection, paid time off
and services to enhance work and life experiences. Protection program are like income
protection program, health protection program, retirement programs etc. Paid time off is
compensating employees when they are not performing their primary work duties like
holidays, vacations, sick leaves, sabbatical leaves etc. Services are like employee assistance
programs, family assistance programs, transportation services, outplacement assistance etc.

Discretionary benefits which HMB is offering to their employees are protection program and
paid time off services. In protection program they give their employees health and safety
insurance and in paid time off they offer sabbatical programs like they give them opportunity
that in evening time you can join any institute for further education. And the services which
HMB bank is offering to their employees are employee assistance and family assistance
services.
 COMPENSATION
SYSTEM OF HMB
HMB bank believes that providing benefits along with pay to employees give them
motivation to work more for organization and if employees are motivated then they can
perform more work which ultimately are beneficial for whole thy organization and also
benefits make them more committed to their work because they are getting what they are
deserving.

The retirement benefits which HMB is providing to their employees are provident and
gratuity funds. Provident fund is an investment fund contributed by employers and employees
and then a lump sum is provided to each employee on the time of retirement. Gratuity fund is
part of salary that is received by an employee from his/her employer in gratitude for the
services offered by the employee in the company. HMB pays retirement benefit in the form of
lump sum payment (50% of employer contribution and 50% of employee contribution.
 COMPENSATION
SYSTEM OF HMB

CONCLUSION
The Compensation system of HMB values the performance of employees most. It has a direct
relationship with employee motivation and performance. It includes extrinsic as well intrinsic
compensation factors for employees. Extrinsic benefit plans plays an important role in
developing positive perception of an employee towards its organization and towards its work.
Instruments of intrinsic factors have a profound impact upon an employees loyalty and
commitment. In addition to that it is helpful in employee retention as well as in reducing
organizations turn over. Intrinsic factors play the role of motivators for the employees and
associate them with their job and organization. They feel important and consider their
performance as organization performance and image of organization as their own image.

) at the time of retirement. After that they dont give them any monthly payment as pension or
in the form of annuity. Up to 2005 whole the banking sector was providing pension fund but
after 2005 no any bank is providing pension fund to their employees thats why HMB is also
not providing.

HMB is providing life and health insurance coverage to its all employees even if they work
for one day and next day he is dead then he is covered under life and health insurance. If any
employee in HMB had borrowed loan I case of death of employee whole loan is covered and
also bank will give 7.5lacs to his/her family. Group insurance plan is also workable in HMB
bank. The retirement options which HMB bank give to their employees depends on market,
first they do market survey then accordingly they give to their employees.
