Do you know how to determine the essential functions of a job? What elements should your position descriptions contain to be ADA-compliant? Are you paying your employees competitive salaries? How do you link pay to performance and reward high performance in your organization? How much should you spend on salary increases each year?

In addition to meeting your staffing needs, The HR SOURCE's consulting division, CompSOURCE, can help you find the answers to these questions by providing compensation solutions tailored to your organization's needs. Our consulting solutions are ideal for those firms that do not have an in-house compensation professional, or when you need services that cannot be provided by your internal staff.

We Provide Solutions

CompSOURCE can provide you with business solutions that address the full range of compensation needs in your organization. Our menu of services all begin with a thorough review of the marketplace to define the best practices and latest trends in compensation:

Position Description Development:

    CompSOURCE consultants can prepare comprehensive, legally-compliant position descriptions for every job in your organization.

Job Analysis:

    Our consultants will utilize a number of commonly known methods (job ranking, job classification, factor comparison, point factor evaluation), to determine positions in your organization for their worth and value.

Marketing Pricing:

    Compensation Studies: CompSOURCE will gather data from a number of respected and reliable national, regional and local survey sources to provide you with external compensation data about the positions in your organization. You can use this data to determine your competitive stance in the marketplace.

    Development of Custom Surveys: For those positions in your organization which are industry-specific, CompSOURCE consultants can develop a customized survey of those jobs, targeting those companies with whom you want to compare yourself.

Compensation Program Development:

    Compensation Philosophy: Where do you want your firm to be relative to similar firms in the marketplace? What behaviors, results, and skills are valued and rewarded in your firm? HR CONSULTS professionals can help you develop the compensation philosophy that will be the foundation for your compensation program.

    Base Pay and Incentive Program Development: We'll look at the two key elements of any compensation program, base pay and incentive, to help you create programs that maximize your budget dollars. Let us help you create a compensation program that recognizes high performance, rewards business results, and one that assists you with creating or re-inventing your corporate culture through programs that reward the behaviors that you want to reinforce in your organization.

    Annual Program Administration: Once CompSOURCE has developed your compensation and incentive programs, you'll need to administer them throughout the year. CompSOURCE consultants can devise administration tools and materials (merit budgets, salary matrices, management guides, etc) to assist you with implementing and maintain your compensation until our services are needed again.

Performance Management Systems:


    Turn your performance evaluation process into a meaningful event for both your employees and your company. Let the consultants of CompSOURCE develop a performance management system which links pay to performance and encourages employee participation in the evaluation process. We'll develop the metrics needed to equitably compensate all your employees.

    CompSOURCE professionals will train your managers on the implementation and administration of a performance management system. You can offer your employees greater participation in the overall process through self-assessments. Managers will learn how to establish performance standards, and provide coaching and feedback on how to get the staff to think critically about their own performance. We'll also show you how to use the information provided in self-assessments to write a performance appraisal and conduct a performance discussion.
