About the Compensation Discipline

The Compensation Discipline deals with the various forms of direct compensation—that is, employees’ pay—that employers use to attract, recognize and retain workers. It includes designing and administering compensation systems including base pay, differential and incentive pay, and overtime. It also includes matters that focus on compensation-related careers, communications, legal and regulatory issues, technology, metrics and outsourcing, as well as effective compensation practices and global compensation issues. It does not include the various forms of indirect employee compensation—commonly referred to as “benefits,” which are encompassed in the Benefits Discipline.
