Since the financial crisis of 2008, financial services firms are giving more attention to deferred compensation as a way to reduce risk and be in compliance with evolving regulations that require transparency and auditability. However, managing the administration of deferred compensation, especially in a compliant way, is complex, and most home grown, Excel-based, and packaged compensation systems were not designed to handle this complexity. This session is aimed at helping those who are tasked with managing deferred compensation and other forms of executive comp to understand what is needed in terms of a compensation system to administer these processes. The system needs to provide an easy way to manage complex schemes that are conditional based on the multi-year performance of the individual, the division, the company and the market over a 3 to 5 year period. It should allow for simulation and scenario building, and needs to provide robust reporting and analytics. All calculations, payouts, and changes must be transparent and auditable. And given that regulations and strategies may be constantly changing, the system needs to be easily adaptable to change in a way that can be handled by the compensation manager. The session will provide examples from some financial institutions who are using new technology to manage deferred compensation effectively.

As organizations seek to improve the effectiveness of contingent labor management programs, a holistic view of the workforce and strategies for optimizing spend is essential.

As a payroll manager, you are faced with many external and internal forces driving your decisions. Although your goal may be 100% direct deposit, you must navigate issues of compliance to reach that benchmark. By putting processes into place that proactively address said issues while streamlining your operations, you will make your life easier. At TFG Card Solutions, we closely follow issues of compliance surrounding direct deposit and pay cards and will share our collective knowledge in this webinar.

In this webinar we will cover hot topics in the payroll industry including direct deposit legislation around the country and the increasing need for pay cards. If your goal is 100% direct deposit and paperless payroll, you will need to know about electronic pay stubs for your employees.

Discussion will include best practices, requirements, and compliance surrounding pay stubs. Our final topic will answer the question, how does one go about choosing the best pay card provider? What should you look for in a vendor? With so many vendors out there, it can be difficult to find the one whose services fit the needs of your organization and those of your employees, the cardholder.

Organizations nationwide seek to continuously improve performance and motivation, while simultaneously reducing costs. This arduous task often becomes the responsibility of the Human Resources (HR). Without effective systems in place and data available, employee compensation can run counter to efficiency and performance objectives set by the organization. The implementation of market-based pay structures is increasingly necessary in order for organizations to remain competitive, administer compensation fairly and easily and allocate limited financial resources where they are most needed.

This presentation will review best-practice steps to compensation system design. During the presentation, attendees will be introduced to:

• Turnover in the rebounding economy
• Compensation economics 101
• Review steps for designing a market-based compensation system
• Recognition and sustaining high performance through a merit matrix

Compensation management is one of the most critical and complex processes for a global company: Why is it critical? Not only because it represents the largest part of your company’s total costs, but more importantly because it is one of your company’s most effective tools to drive its human capital. Why is it complex?

Because local markets vary in terms of talent expectations, pay practices and local regulations, not to mention issues of language, currencies, and culture. To get local buy-in while retaining control and meeting business objectives requires a compensation management system that provides a consistent framework, but with flexibility to adapt to local needs.

This webcast will educate you on the challenges, pitfalls, and benefits of implementing an automated global platform for compensation management, whether it be for salary reviews, performance calibration, short term incentive plans, long term incentive plans, sales commissions, royalty sharing, channel compensation, or any combination of these. It will help prepare you to deliver value to the business by implementing a solution that uses compensation effectively to drive performance across the global enterprise, while streamlining processes and eliminating the manual efforts, high costs, and risks involved with using Excel or homegrown solutions to manage compensation in a complex environment. It will draw upon the real life experiences of global companies who have met these challenges, and help you to avoid costly missteps in planning, designing and implementing such a solution.

If you need the best possible information and the best possible analyses in order to hire, motivate and retain highest quality people, CompXpert is the software solution for you.

Most companies agree that hiring, motivating and retaining highly skilled workers is fundamental to their success, but few approach their labor market as rationally as they do their consumer markets. The key to maximizing competitive advantage is combining all available information to properly allocate your internal labor resources against the external labor market where you compete for talent.

Once the commitment has been made to use external benchmarks to guide compensation, the struggle for the compensation department is to perform the analysis as productively and efficiently as possible. How can you possibly manage, evaluate and analyze all the various types of data available? How do you balance your internal value and labor strategy against the external market for pay decisions? Is your evaluation process efficient and reliable? Is the vendor subscription data you gather at a high cost reliable? For sake of getting the process complete, do you just quickly match your job titles to the market titles, call it good and then run out of time to analyze your competitive strategy?
