The Payroll Nobody Explains

People do not trust a pay structure they cannot understand.

Who this book is for

Người làm nhân sự ở doanh nghiệp vừa và nhỏ Việt Nam: chuyên viên nhân sự tổng hợp, trưởng phòng nhân sự một hai người, hoặc quản lý hành chính kiêm nhân sự ở công ty từ hai mươi tới vài trăm người; tự lo từ tuyển dụng, hợp đồng, chấm công, bảng lương tới đào tạo, và thường báo cáo thẳng cho giám đốc.

  • Employees ask why their pay is what it is and HR has no answer.

After reading, you can

Help HR staff organise pay grades and explain them to employees.

Each chapter answers one question

  1. Chapter 1: Do we actually know how we pay people?

    Where does pay for each role in my company currently sit?

    Before fixing the pay structure, you must be able to lay current pay out on one page.

  2. Chapter 2: Is a unique salary for every role fair?

    How many pay grades does my company need?

    Pay grades group roles with similar levels of contribution into the same band.

  3. Chapter 3: What exactly is this allowance paying for?

    What is each allowance in my company paying for?

    Every payment beyond base salary must be able to answer what it pays for.

  4. Chapter 4: What's wrong with giving raises by gut feeling?

    What is my company's rule for pay rises?

    When pay rises follow a rule, both those who got one and those who did not understand why.

  5. Chapter 5: Does silence about pay make people feel safer?

    How do I explain pay to an employee?

    Employees do not need to know others' pay, but they need to understand how theirs is calculated.
