This course is designed to explore the philosophy and foundational principles governing wages and salaries within business organizations. It covers various aspects of compensation management, such as job analysis, administrative job evaluation, basic compensation plans, executive compensation, and administrative controls.

The rationale for this course stems from the essential need for organizational leaders equipped with the knowledge and skills to develop, implement, and oversee effective compensation and benefit programs that align with the strategic mission of the organization. Managers are expected to integrate this knowledge with strong decision-making abilities to provide both the organization and individuals with the most efficient compensation, benefit, and total rewards systems.

The course assignments include readings from the textbook and lecture presentations. After reviewing the course syllabus and student expectations, students are required to complete a checklist outlined in the Course Overview.

The main components of student participation involve engaging in five discussions. Each discussion comprises a thread and a reply. Threads must be substantiated with information from the textbook, a minimum of two scholarly/peer-reviewed citations in APA format, and scripture. They should also be a minimum of 400 words, excluding the reference section. Additionally, students are expected to reply to two other threads for each discussion, with each reply supported by the textbook, at least two scholarly/peer-reviewed citations in APA format, scripture, and a minimum of 250 words (excluding the reference section).

Another assignment involves creating a Compensation Survey and Structure Assignment, which requires support from the current edition of the Compensation textbook, scholarly/peer-reviewed citations, and integration of biblical principles.

The quizzes in this course are open-book and open-notes, containing multiple-choice and true/false questions.
