Total Compensation Plan
Riordan Manufacturing is a leader in the plastics manufacturing industry. As a fortune 1000 company, this employer of over 500 employees has not only made an investment into the products that roll off the production lines but most importantly the employees who help produce these products (University of Phoenix, 2013). In addition to the annual salary or hourly compensation these employees receive, Riordan makes additional investments in employees to better their wellbeing inside and outside of work. The complete benefit package offered by Riordan is known as the total

Riordan’s top retirement plan is 401(k) savings plans with the one goal in mind, helping an employee retire, (Martocchio, 2009).
The 401(k) plan is accessible to full-time employees who work at least 30 hours within a work week. An employee must work for the organization for at least 12months and be at least 21 or older to qualify for this plan (Apollo Group, 2013). The company’s pension plan is currently done through open enrollment though the process may change in the near future to automatic enrollment. The idea of doing an automatic enrollment will automatically enroll each and every employee in that particular retirement plan unless the employee chooses not to after the fact. The employee would have the option to opt-out at any point within a particular deadline which is 90 days. With the current open enrollment plan, Riordan employees have the choice to choose just how much of his or her paycheck will contribute to the plan and the company will equal that amount or up to a particular dollar amount. The benefit in enrolling into the 401(k) plan is the employee’s contribution is deducted before state and federal withholdings (Apollo Group, Inc., 2013).
In order to involve workers and to promote worker engagement toward the 401(k) savings strategy, the company has established an interaction plan. When a worker is first employed as a new hire, the employee will obtain
Hugh McCaughley, Chief Operations Officer of Riordan Manufacturing has requested a new system for the Human Resources department of their company which would be implemented and utilized at three plant locations and the company headquarters. To build the new human resources system properly, information must be collected from various areas of Riordan Manufacturing, and the information will be collected in a variety of ways. This information must then be used to determine such items as scope of the project which can allow for feasibility studies to ensure the system should be implemented,

Production line workers are the employees who are usually doing their work by hand or in this day and age, running the machine or equipment to make the products. In this particular case, Canada Chemicals Corporation utilizes their production employees by producing industrial chemicals. These production worker’s jobs are a lot more complete then other production level workers employees as they usually have plenty of skill, knowledge and experience, and have high educational background. In order to reverse recent challenges with production and sales, I have composed a compensation package for these employees that will motivate them intrinsically, and focus on rewards that are extrinsic.
In order to satisfy the matching or nonelective contributions requirement employers must either meet the matching contribution requirement or make a nonelective contribution to a defined contribution plan of at least three percent of an employee’s compensation on behalf of each nonhighly compensated employee who is eligible to participate in the automatic enrollment plan. A plan normally satisfies the matching contribution requirement if the employer makes a matching contribution on behalf of each nonhighly compensated employee that is equal to 100 percent of the employee’s elective deferrals as do not exceed one percent of compensation and 50 percent of the employee’s elective deferrals as exceeds one percent but does not exceed six percent
Riordan Manufacturing discovered some problems with their employees; such as an inability to motivate employees and how to reduce the high turnover rate within the company. This was discovered through the Riordan human resources department structure which does not allow employee empowerment and as a result is delaying potential growth due to the unbalanced profits, and reduction in sales.
In the United States, a 401(k) plan is the tax-qualified, defined contribution pension account defined in subsection 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this plan, retirement savings contributions are provided and sometimes proportionately matched by an employer. However, in 1980 a benefits consultant named Ted Benna took note of the previously obscure provision. Mr. Benna figured out that it could be used to create a simple tax-advantaged way to save for retirement. At this
We recommend that SmartKidz initiate a traditional 401(k) plan. A traditional 401(k) plan is a defined-contribution plan for for-profit organizations. In this plan, employees are allowed to contribute a percentage of their salary before taxes up to a maximum contribution, which is $18,000 as of 2015 (IRS). In addition, employers may choose to add to each employee’s 401(k) plan through matching each individual contribution or providing a one-time lump sum. Each employee has a tax-deferred account where he or she is able to choose where to allocate his or her contributions. For example, mutual funds and target funds are common investment options.
The responsibility of 401(k) investing depends on employers and employees, and lack of expertise in finance has proved to be

I think the stock option compensation plan is not a bad idea when it comes to paying a corporation's board of director members. The board of director members pay option plays a vital role in the success of an organization. I think that theses board members need to be paid based on the company's financial profitability and the economic growth they help provide to the business. If the board members are paid a set wage there is no need for them to strive to excel the standard because their pay is already set in stone. If businesses compensate their board members according to the increased stock sales in the firm the board members must perform well to receive the pay they deserve. Board members have normally been compensated a yearly salary
The purpose of this research article is to examine the relationship between CEO compensation and patient satisfaction in non-profit hospitals throughout Ontario, Canada. The study aims to identify the possibility of a correlation between these two variables via the investigation of three key research questions: (1) Does CEO compensation affect patient satisfaction? (2) Does CEO compensation play a mediating role between patient satisfaction and hospital size? (3) Other than CEO compensation, what factors impact patient satisfaction? Through the guidance of these questions and the analysis of the research conducted to answer them, the study provides a basis for further research in an area of healthcare that has not yet been explored.

In today’s competitive workforce, compensation and benefit packages plays a crucial role on recruitment and retention for both the organization and the employee. Bumpbie finds itself in a situation where it could positively affect its employee’s morale, turnover rate and longevity; by making a strategic decision to implement compensation and benefit packages that will encourage current workers to stay and entice new applicants. Money is not always the inherent reason businesses experience high turnover rate, the constant shifting in the job market will always be a contributing factor as well as employee’s moral. Mayhew, R. (2016), explains that an “employee compensation plan” refers to all the components offered as well as the way in which they are paid, and the reason behind the employees getting the compensation case bonuses, salary increases and incentives. The fact that there are voluntary and mandatory benefits that organization provides to their employees give employees the freedom of choice, as well as the option to make the whether to stay with or leave an organization based on the benefits it provides. Variable Pay is also an option that some employers offer their employee which is performance based or results oriented. Whether it is profit sharing, merit based programs or incentive bonuses; it all comes down to which organization can provide employees with the compensation or benefits packages that best satisfy their needs.
