2 C Develop different options that are ready for consideration by relevant managers
A good salary plan gives an employee a feeling of prestige and boost their morale so that
perform more easily and efficiently according to their full potential and that will lead to a good
management system without a good package they will start thinking that this work isn't worth it.
Bounce Fitness follows every law like federal, state and local and if it doesn't follow them that will
affect the policies made by them and will affect the remuneration policies Bounce Fitness also
gives Fringe benefits tax as they give incentives to their employees on the basis of their
performance and some incentives are not covered under it like living away from home allowances
and that exempts it. This tax is paid exclusive of income tax which counts as a expense for the
company providing incentives also is a expense for the company as they include services like cash

bonuses, health and medicare, social and security, insurance and labour policies this is how they
apply to the company's remuneration policies.(Sparrow, Brewster, and Chung, 2016.)
2 D Describe how these options link to the achievement of organizational goals.
To achieve organizational objectives employees should work thinking of company as first
then for himself. They should understand the goals of an organization clearly. To achieve it
business objectives must be communicated clearly in the organization as it will help in speeding
up the process . Managers helps to set goals for every concerned department which helps to attain
the(Cascio, 2015)objectives of the business. They should communicate their staff regularly to
teach them how to do the work by allowing them to enter and see the goals of every department it
will help in reduction of conflicts in the team as they will work according to their goal and under
their department. Sometimes they share the goal giving support to each other or to identify if
someone in the team is working against them. Bounce fitness promotes team building as more
people working together will achieve more goals in the organization. Keeping things like proper
communication, a good remuneration package and managing and training the employees properly
will help achieve organizational objectives.(Berman and et.al,2019.)
2 E How will this remuneration plan ensure that the organization's image as an employer of choice
and encourage it to be regarded as a desirable place to work?
A good remuneration plan ensures the that an existing employee will be working for a long
time without having any second thoughts and that applies in the case of Bounce Fitness their
employees believes in consistency as the salary package is good, working hours are flexible and
that does not gives thoughts like leaving this and joining other organization. A good salary
package also creates a desire among many people to encourage and work for the organization and
that creates a desire to be a part of this firm. It also helps in creating fair goodwill in the minds of
people and in the market. People who want to work in fitness industry have a desire to be a part of
Bounce Fitness as it will evolve them and it offers every single requirements that a employee seeks
while finding and applying for a work. This all helps to start a good word of mouth in the market
which helps in bringing more customers and more customers bring more profitability to the firm.
When you offer a good salary package you will attract more qualified people which will
automatically increase the quality of your personnel. It creates alignment within all levels of

Bounce Fitness. It does not let loose the interest of employer or employee these all elements helps
in improving reputation.
