Compa-ratio is calculated as the employee’s current salary divided by the current market rate as defined by the company’s competitive pay policy. Compa-Ratios are position specific. Each position has a salary range that includes a minimum, a midpoint, and a maximum. These three values represent industry averages for the position. A Compa-Ratio of 1.00 or 100% means that the employee is paid exactly what the industry average pays and is at the midpoint for the salary range, A ratio of 0.75 means that the employee is paid 25% below the industry average and is at the risk of seeking employment with competitors at a higher pay that is perceived equitable. A ratio of 1.15 compa-ratio would mean the employee is paid above the industry average.

  1. Along with everything that appears to be building within this specific area, all your points of view are somewhat radical. However, I am sorry, but I can not give credence to your entire strategy, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would seem to us that your comments are actually not completely rationalized and in fact you are generally yourself not really fully convinced of the argument. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.
