Summary

E-Compensation tools are software used for managing employee pay. This document compares web-based systems with client-server and stand-alone PC-based systems.

Pay in Human Resources

Pay is a key part of HR. It must be handled carefully and accurately. HR tools have changed how pay is managed.

Web-Based vs Client-Server Systems

Web-based tools offer advantages like report creation and data sharing. Client-server systems limit access to one location and can slow down as data grows.

Centralized vs Decentralized Pay Systems

Centralized systems have top-down decision-making and uniform policies. Decentralized systems allow more input from employees.

Analytic Features for E-Compensation

Three features are needed for planning and decision support. These are pay history tracking, current pay display, and pay-performance comparison.
