REMUNERATION SOURCE

'In general, job evaluation is solely treated with the technical aspects of remuneration in mind. As a result the richness and feasibility of the issue do not become evident.' (1)

'The concept of 'pay' or remuneration consists of two elements: the pay policy and the technical instruments to design and implement this policy. The pay policy in its turn consists of the total packet of primary, secondary and tertiary benefits and other conditions of employment which constitute the (monetary) reward for the employee's performance.' (2)

'Arguments must be carefully weighed, they must also take into account collective labour agreements, general opinions and attitudes in society, the relationships between gross and net salaries, and between lower and higher incomes.' (3)

'Another important aspect is the difference between basic salary and the so-called total cash. In other words, which variable salary component should be added to the basic pay to arrive at a total amount of income.' (4)
