Abstract
In order to avoid the sensitive issues surrounding salaries, some organizations have taken a proactive approach and set forth specific salary "steps" within job classifications which are predetermined. This approach enables managers simply to move employees from one step to the next. This is commonly done in public sector jobs where salary information is published and public information (although not the salaries of individual employees). This paper examines the problem which arose in a private sector institution, Pierce University library, where the library supervisor had misperceptions regarding salary increases. The paper identifies the problem, analyzes it and offers alternatives to the present salary system. It also recommends that the university adopt both the strategy of implementing a diversity program and develop guidelines to help managers and supervisors determine merit increases and who is eligible for them.
From the Paper
"Another advantage to this strategy is that by giving greater authority to those lower in the organization (the supervisors), the institution can expect to retain these employees in critical jobs for longer periods. The supervisors have day-to-day knowledge about how the various tasks are performed, and even if they do not actually prepare performance evaluations or determine merit increases, they should nonetheless be included in the discussions regarding both of these in order that the institution have the best information available to it as it makes these decisions (Weiss, 1998, p. 10)."

Salary Negotiation, 2007.
This paper looks at the technique of salary negotiation and provides a discussion of different negotiating scenarios.

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that salary negotiation is the process of creating a consensus between the job hunter/employee and the employer on how much the latter will pay the former for his/her skills, knowledge and expertise. This process is primarily communication-centered; however, negotiating salary takes more than just simple verbal communication with one's employer in order to be successful. In this paper, salary negotiation is discussed in the context of different scenarios. However, while these scenarios differ in their nature, each discusses one element of salary negotiating skills. The writer concludes that scanning the industry one is in, combined with a thoughtful assessment of one's self as an asset to the company are the important elements that must be taken into account in order to be well-equipped and successful in the salary negotiating process.
From the Paper
"A common situation in job hunting nowadays is the profile of the highly-educated job hunter, who has strong, credible education credentials, having just finished a Masters degree in his/her chosen field. However, the highly-educated job hunter is not as experienced when compared against Bachelor's degree holder-individuals who have had extensive experience in the job and knows the industry well. This is a dilemma for the Master's degree holder-job hunter, whose high qualifications are impeded by the fact that s/he is not equipped with the practical skills to ensure his/her potential employer that s/he is worth more the salary the job hunter has in mind."
"Porter's analysis of salary negotiations among MBA graduates showed that in this group of job hunters, the company has more concerns than the job hunter himself/herself. This is because it was found out that generally, Master's degree holders tend to be offered generously by companies, resorting also to offering signing bonuses in order to entice a potential employee to join the company/organization."

Salary Information, 2001.
This essay discusses the controversy over the open policy that reveals employee salary information.

Abstract
This paper examines the secret and open salary information policies in which the author argues in favor of an 'open' policy. Attempt has been made to discuss both sides of the picture and the conclusions have been drawn after a thorough analysis of the arguments.
From the Paper
"Let us look at some of the arguments that have been put forward by the proponents of wage secrecy and analyze whether there are any merits in these contentions. First of all, it has often been claimed that it is the employees themselves who want their pay kept secret, it being privileged information. This claim is not supported by facts. If it did, why would most public organizations, where the labor unions are usually strong, almost unanimously follow an open pay policy?"

From the Paper
"The study by Eric Pick entitled "The Economic Effects of a Salary Cap on a Professional Sports League" is an attempt to develop and apply an econometric model to the subject at hand. The study is based on a model that is limited, so the most that could emerge from it is a potentially useful formula to be applied on a broader scale than the two team universe addressed by the author and that may or may not be applicable to a variety of different types of sports leagues. The same basic issues do apply to different types of sports leagues, and efforts to apply a salary cap have been part of major sports leagues for some time. In 1994, a threatened basketball strike led to an agreement that involved salary caps, among other provisions. In that case, as an end to the players' union was threatened, the players... "

Abstract
The following paper discusses economic changes including the increasing service and technology sectors displacing manufacturing as dominant employers, increasingly more productive and better educated women, changing political and social mores and other issues which significantly place in question policies and situations in which a gender gap exists. This research proposes to review the factors toward recommendations of how businesses can improve productivity through equitable pay supporting workplace diversity and motivation.
From the Paper
"In 1963, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, making it unlawful to discriminate against a worker on the basis of sex. Since that time, the wage gap between men and women in the United States has narrowed by just 15 cents, now being 74 cents, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.Pay equality is most prevalent for the 16 to 24 age group, in which women earn more than 90 percent of what men do; however, the gap becomes 75 percent in the 25 to 54 year old group - those at the height of their careers and life responsibilities. ("How Equal is Equal Pay?" Teresa Brady, Management Review, March 1998)."

Salary Information: Secrecy or Openness?, 2001.

Abstract
This paper examines secret and open salary information policies. The author argues in favor of an ?open? policy. An attempt has been made to discuss both sides of the picture. The conclusions have been drawn after a thorough analysis of the arguments.
From the Paper
"A case can be made both for and against a secret as well as an open pay policy. That is why we find almost an equal number of organizations that follow either of the two systems. There are surprisingly large numbers of organizations, particularly in the private sector, that not only keep the salary information of their employees secret but also require the staff to keep such data under wraps. Punishment for release of pay information in these companies is often severe and can even lead to dismissal. Although there is always some merit in a counter argument, I am convinced that an open salary information policy has greater benefits while a secret pay policy can lead to serious organizational and motivation problems."

From the Paper
" Until the World Series was sacrificed in 1994, it was easy to ignore the issue of salary caps in sports. Then the National Hockey League season was put on hold and remains in peril. The National Basketball Association began rumors of canceling their season if the players refused to accept salary caps. The one sport that seemed to demonstrate the merit of salary caps, the National Football League, also became newsworthy when prime players started losing their jobs and many others took dramatic cuts in their salaries. Suddenly, salary caps are an integral aspect of professional sports that affect the economics of sports teams and raise emotions between owners, managers, players and fans.
This research examines the economic impact of salary caps in sports and explores some of the arguments for and against.."

Federal Judges' Salaries, 2007.
This paper examines the federal judicial salary crisis.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the salaries of federal judges are dependent on the salaries of Congress. The paper relates that Congress has been unwilling to "award itself" standard salary increases over the past few decades because of public discontent with the government. The paper relates that Justices are resigning their positions since salaries for private sector lawyers are steadily increasing.
Outline:
Introduction
History
Justice Views
Federal Judge Resignations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The judicial branch of the federal government has been concerned with issues related to the salaries of judges for a number of years. The salaries of federal judges are connected by law to the "salaries of members of Congress" ("Federal Judicial", 2001). However, Congress has been unwilling to "award itself" standard salary increases over the past few decades because of public discontent with government ("Federal Judicial", 2001). Although Chief Justice Rehnquist, and his successor, Chief Justice Roberts have attempted to bring the issue to the public, their voices have created no change in the salaries of the federal judiciary. Until Congress is prepared to either alter the laws attaching judicial salaries to its body, or vote in normal cost of living increases for itself there does not appear to be an answer to this issue in the near future."

Salaries in the Major Leagues, 2001.
Argues in favor of salary caps in Major League Baseball.

Abstract
This paper is an argumentative essay about the need for salary caps in Major league Baseball. The paper argues that salary caps are necessary in order survive as a profitable sport.
From the Paper
"There is obviously a problem in Major league Baseball and it needs to be fixed before the league goes belly up. While this sounds preposterous it is quite possible. In my mind the best solution would be a salary cap and revenue sharing. As a Padres fan I grow tired of seeing them place last or second to in the NL West. While I will still support them I won?t be attending as many games (especially while in Iowa). Because of this they will lose money in ticket sales, with the effects of that trickling all the way down to revenue for broadcasting, leaving them in a financially precarious position. This is in danger of happening to many teams. Fans are going are growing tired and vexed at seeing their teams go nowhere in the post-season. Three competitive teams are not enough to keep a profitable fan base and more importantly profitable revenue."

Salaries of CEOs, 2004.
A discussion of the outrageously high salaries paid to executive officers of certain companies.
1,553 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the outrageous salaries of chief executive officers, showing that most experts agree that the extreme salaries and bonus packages began during the boom years of the 1990s. The writer looks at the recent decrease in overall spending by companies, with the exception of of boardrooms across America regarding CEO benefits. On the other hand, the writer shows that some critics believe that, due to the fact that the United States is the leading participant in the new global economy, the right CEO in a company can make all the difference. The demand is huge, and the supply is small; therefore, companies are willing to pay for fear the CEOs will leave for another company.
From the Paper
"The high profile scandals or fraud and executive chicanery has tarnished corporate America. ?The sputtering economy and sagging corporate profits pounded stock for a third-consecutive year?But when it came to pain and suffering?most CEOs barely felt the downdraft last year? (Strauss, Hansen Pp). Based on an exclusive database analysis by USA Today and the Investor Responsibility Research Center, a corporate-governance watchdog, CEOs running 100 of the biggest companies in the United States pulled in median 2002 compensation of $33.4 million, essentially unchanged from 2001."

Salaries in Professional Sports, 2002.
An economic analysis of player salaries in professional sports.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the notion of economic amongst the sport world of today. By understanding why many professionals in the sports world receive high salaries, we can learn why they seem to reach astronomical rates in this field. The elements of Adam Smith, and Marxist economics certainly play a part in this analysis, and can show us why the demand for good players is so high. By having the demand higher than the supply, the obvious idea of high salaries is not a shocking one, but helps us to realize the way that certain players of sports get these top notch wages.
