WEB BASED COMPENSATION AND PLANNING



Nowadays, organizations faced with the complexities of creating and administering compensation system are increasingly turning to technology for help in order to make a better management in compensation. In additions, compensation is one of the most complex topics in HRM. Online compensation represents a web that enable an organization to gather, store, manipulate, analyze, utilize, and distribute compensation data and information.
            The compensation system includes two different components which are fixed compensation and variable compensation. Fixed compensation is bonuses, pay wages, merit pay/cost of living adjustments, and equity adjustments.  Bonuses include sign-on bonus, referral bonus, spot bonus reward and retention bonus. Meanwhile pay wage is the basic cash compensation that an employer pays for work performed. Some pay system set based wage as a function of the skill or education an employee possesses. Merit pay/ cost of living adjustment is a periodic adjustment to base wages may be made on the basis of changes in what other employers are paying for same work, changes in the overall cost of living, or changes in experience or skill. Equity adjustment is intended to address critical and /or unusual pay administration issues and an equity increase is an adjustment to an employee’s salary. Variable compensation is individual incentives plan, group incentives plan, profit sharing plan and productivity gain sharing plan.
            Compensation programs must also meet federal and state statutory and regulatory requirement. For instance, the Office Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).  It requires annual evidence of nonbias with respect to race and gender for similarly situated employee groups (SSEGs) and requires multiple linear regression analyses as evidence. Compensation can be seen manage in a typical data input typical report and data outflows. Compensation data inputs include internal (job, people and organization unit), external (market survey data and information on rewards practices) and generated data. The combination of internal and external will make the result better. Meanwhile in the typical report the most common reports include budget reports to managers showing how their actual compensation cost compare with the projected costs. Each employee will be provided with an annual compensation report showing the total amount of money spent by organization on employees in all aspects of compensation. A data outflow is the primary data outflow from the compensation modules to payroll. Managers will preparing budgets draw on compensation data as they projects costs over the next budget period. So it is important to have web based compensation planning because it will benefits the organization in preparing their budget effectively and precisely in future.

WEB BASED OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH



 In this topic, I have learned that occupational safety and health (OSH) is very important for employee and organization to make the safe and healthy environment in workplace. OSH means interdisciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. There are many organizations (government) serve to promote occupational safety and health at work. For example the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).Their function are includes promoting safety and health in the community, education and training, consultancy services, research and, strategies development, and information dissemination.
             The act of Occupational Safety and Health 1994 was established in order to secure safety, health, and welfare among all workforces and also aim to protect against safety and health during doing activities in workplace. All of these are implemented by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) under Ministry of Human Resource to reduce occupational incidents and accidents in Malaysia.
                Basically all company need an effective safety and health management to every employee. This is because of humanitarian consideration, legal sanction and financial cost. So, it is very important to establish the use of web based in managing the OSH. Web based is very functional in worker’s compensation on claims, safety and health training records and accident reporting and record keeping. It will be easier to manage and benefits for both the organization and the employees. In order to manage effectively using the web based system, management can use the digital tools for managing safety. Digital technologies, such as the online databases, VR, GIS, 4D CAD, BIM, sensing/warning technologies etc., are widely applied in these tools for site hazard prevention and safe project delivery. Online databases are commonly used in assessing competence of different stakeholders. VR and database technologies to assist users in identifying potential the construction risks contained in the design at the construction stage while advantage of 4D CAD is to analyze on-site dynamics to enable safe project delivery. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and BIM have also become used in conjunction with 4D CAD to better understand construction safety issues by considering environment impact and design information.
So, it will worth the organization in increasing their operational efficiencies, reduce time and work accident and increase workers retention and satisfaction when the web based system on OSHA are applied effectively and efficiently.

WEB BASED EMPLOYEE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT



I have learned that, employee learning and development is a center stage of organization to ensure long term competitiveness, excellence, quality, flexibility and adaptability. The need of learning, training and development in an organization is very important to ensure that they can compete with others in the challenging business environment. This is because, nowadays every organization starts to apply the best method by using the best system to manage their organization development and it is the web based. 
            Web based employee learning, training and development is actually about a way to educate employee on their learning and development and sometimes based on the training method that they applied. The training and development subsystem consist of the plan and monitor training, develop and analyze the success of training programs, recommend skill assessment, career matching and performance evaluation, and then analyzing the employee career development.
            In order to make sure the learning occur in among employees’ organizations also needs to ensure the effectiveness of their training and development systems. The system is functions enough to alleviate possible future skill among employees. Besides, the system also aims to foster motivation and satisfaction as it can help employee to manage their stress due to work load. The systems also can encourage the employee to keep on their competitiveness in their work performance better. Their development can be seen if they received the effective training and development that can make them learn the KSAs the need in the organization.
            The application of HRIS in training surely will make the process of training will be managing effectively and efficiently as firm grow in size drastically. Learning management system is the application that commonly use. It is aim to deliver four main features that is delivering training content, tracking of trainee performance, management of online learning( course and trainee) , and provision of tools for student collaboration. In order to run the system systematically, employee and management log in to the system by using their own identification which is (1) employee log in and (2) administrator log in. Methods that used to manage the learning and development in organization are on the job training and off the job training method.
            In using this application in organization it will benefit the company in cost and tie saving, provides variety in instructional environment, improves computer skills among employees, gives real time feedback, accessibility system and also facilitates management work. So with HRIS in learning, training and development field it will help managers in terms of selecting the right trainees analyzing the types of training needs, preparing materials and much more.

INTRODUCTION



My impressions about this subject have changes a lot after more than 2 month learning this subject.  Dr. Roya Anvari has given good lectures to us. She tries her best to make us understand this subject. In additions, in order to understand us more, she gives us exercise and homework almost every week at the end of the class. The exercises are either in groups or individuals. I have gain more and more understanding on what the HRIS is. It is include its functions and the benefits to organizations in all aspects. Before this, I have been learning the other topics such as online Recruitment and Selection, and Performance Management systems. But this time, we are asked to complete a blog about three topics and then our understanding will be evaluated based on what we have done in blog on these topics. The topics are about Web Based Employee Learning and Development, Web Based Occupational Safety and Health, and Web Based Compensation and Planning.
