Salary structure is the first and foremost part of compensation plan. The company
tries to give adequate amount of salary to the employees in order to attract more employees.
Housekeeping: the salary of the housekeeping staff is higher than the other companies. The
fresher are given a lower salary compared to the ones who are experienced. After they are
made confirmed employee their salary is increased and it is further increased during their
appraisal (Pessoa, Kiperman & Nascimento, 2014).

good amount of salary.

satisfied them the most with their service. This happens in different departments. The guests
are asked about while leaving their rooms. In that case the name of the housekeeping that the

in case of the chefs. While the feedback session the customer is asked to rate the food and to

manager is dependent on his or her target. The target of the manager is to recruit maximum
amount of employees (Larcker & Tayan, 2016).
Health-secure facility:
The company offers the health secure facilities to all the employees. The company
offers health insurance to its employees. The employees can avail a health insurance in the
clinical institutes of any place across the country. Many employers pay a sizable portion of
the total monthly premium, leaving a portion of the premium to be deducted from the pay of

the pre-tax income that is gross earnings. This might include the entire health coverage
(Ryan, 2016).

for their future. A percentage is deducted from the salary of the employees. All the three
posts are offered a good amount of money after they get retired. The employee needs to be
serve minimum 1 year in order to avail the money after their retirement (Ogwueleka &
Udoudoh, 2018).
Hourly wage:
In case of extra work the employees are given extra money. They are supposed to
work 40 hours in a week. Overtime is one and a half times the hourly rate. The employees
sometime have a collective bargaining agreement with management, which is often called a
labor union contract that have wages set by contract terms for a certain period. This is called
the collective bargaining agreement. This is an important component of the compensation
plan (Keller, 2017).

7COMPENSATION PLAN
Payroll strategy:
Payroll strategies are one of the most important strategy of an organization. The
payroll strategy is designed to form strategies related to the payment of the employees. These
include:
Standard payroll period- there are options of weekly payment, the semi-monthly and the
monthly payment. All the employees in Waltz Disney is offered monthly salary.
The pay range for the housekeeping staffs are under the position of salary with
promotions at all levels. They get a salary of 20 thousand dollar per month. The chef gets the
salary under the executive level position. He gets the salary of forty thousand dollars per
month. The HR Manager gets the salary of seventy thousand dollars per month (Madhani,
2014). The HR Manager gets the salary under the level of executive. He is subjected to get
promotion every year after his appraisal. This is important to have a good pay roll in order to
attract more employees towards the organization. Maximum amount of manpower will enable
the company to achieve the goals (Clear, 2018).
Labor market issue:
The labor market issue that once occurred related to the post of housekeeping was the
issue of overtime without making an extra payment to the workers. The housekeeping staffs
were made to do extra work in the entire week. They were made to work for 45 hours in a
week rather than 40 hours. They were not paid extra for that. This is the reason the company
had to pay them extra in order to do justice towards them (Ugoani, 2017).
Job performance attributes

they include:
