Before you jump into week 2’s the assignment, please make sure you are taking time to read the example pay philosophies that are posted in the weekly material. I’m going to spend some time breaking down this assignment since many students fail to include the key elements or focus on the intention of the assignment.
Where I see mistakes on week 2’s assignment is that students fail to review what a pay philosophy is and fail to review samples before they start the assignment. Additionally, this week’s paper should focus in on the Managed by Q case. What I will be looking for in your paper is that it is clear that you understand what Q’s pay philosophy is; which may include writing it out within the paper. Then you need to really analyze how this philosophy impacts the profitability of Q and then discuss what (if any) competitive advantage it gives Q. The purpose of the assignment is to explore the importance of a compensation philosophy on an organization and we’ll be doing this by looking at the Managed by Q company.
So, let’s breakdown the assignment, it reads as follows:
Q Case Compensation Philosophy: Using the Q Case Study listed below, (1) you will be writing a compensation statement for Managed by Q and then (2) looking at how this philosophy impacts their financial performance, competitive advantage, recruitment, etc. Please consider all the stakeholders who are impacted and how their particular approach impacts these different view points.
Utilizing the case study and additional information found via research (minimum three additional resources), (3) present an academic analysis of Managed by Q’s strategic compensation philosophy, its impact on the profitability of the organization, and any competitive advantage this strategy creates (please utilize data to support your conclusions). Must be 5 to 6 pages plus cover and references.
Elements that I will be looking for is Q’s compensation philosophy written out and identified. You may have to do this yourself based on what you find in the case.
Next, I will be looking for an assessment of this philosophy on how it has impacted the business. Think of items like: how has it impacted profitability? What type of impact on the finances of the organization has it had? Has it given Q a competitive advantage? Or, has it cause them to fall behind their customers? How has it impacted recruitment? And, so on –
I don’t know how to emphasize this enough – though “how much” Q pays is important data and should be included in the analysis – it isn’t a pay philosophy. Rather, a pay philosophy is a written statement that guides a company on their pay decisions. Listing what Q pays is not enough.
This week the focus is on compensation strategies. This is a very important first step of designing any compensation system and one that it actually utilized within the human resources community. It is not only a way to communicate with employees and candidates around how you intent to pay, it is an important tool to ensure that management is on the same page around compensation and benefit costs.

There are examples of pay philosophies out on the internet. Here are a few examples:
As the managing director for your company, based in India, that manufactures computer equipment, you are negotiating with an official in China. His job is to select computer equipment for city employees. You are adamant that you want all the specifications named clearly in a contract. However, the Chinese official is not interested in the technical and financial details.
Explain why having a cultural profile of people in China could help you avoid a breakdown in communication in this situation.
How can you get through the intercultural impasse and obtain a contract that both you and the Chinese official find acceptable?
Your case study should be properly formatted to include a title page and reference list, which will not be included in the minimum page count. The paper should follow APA guidelines for all resources for in-text citations, paraphrasing, and references.
Week 9 Assignment – Records, Termination, and Succession
Overview
One of the major responsibilities of HR is to, of course, manage human capital. This continues after employee hiring and continues through termination and succession. Having effective policies in place that define these, and other functions in between, is critical to an organization’s commitment to ethical, legal, fair, and efficient operating practices. In this assignment, you are asked to share best practices or policies on these topics during a series of brown bag sessions (these are informal lunch time presentations).
Scenario
Imagine that HR leadership is busy integrating the HR teams from both hospitals and they want to make sure department members are operating in concert with one another on a range of topics. Over the next several weeks, leadership plans to have you conduct three brown bag sessions (informal lunch-time presentations) that examine the topics of record keeping, ethics and law, and succession planning. They have asked you to write an executive summary of the content planned for each session in advance.
Session 2: Ethical and Legal Termination—In this session, you examine the legal and ethical aspects of selecting and terminating an employee out of a group of people with similar performance, behaviors, and jobs as a part of a broad-ranging cost saving initiative. Employee differences:
One has a disability.
One is paid significantly more than others.
One is 60 years of age and older than the others.
One is planning on soon taking an extended family leave
Session 3: Succession Planning—In this session, you recommend a process to identify and groom an internal candidate to move into a senior-level leadership position in a health care organization such as CEO, COO, and CFO.
Instructions
Consider the scenario above and imagine that your audience is a group of department managers. Write an executive summary that introduces the topics in an introductory paragraph and then describes the content to be delivered in each of the three sessions in detail. Each session description should be two pages in length (six total pages plus cover page).
Your work will be measured against the following criteria:
Analyze the legal implications or requirements of a termination decision. (Make sure to reference specific statutes or laws that govern this area of employment law.)
Analyze the ethical facets of a termination decision. (Make sure to reference an ethical framework to support your assertions or positions.)
Recommend and justify a process to identify and groom a candidate for a senior-level position.
