Review Questions 1. As VP of HR at Pilsner Roofing, the eleventh largest roofing company in the world, you are experiencing turnover problems with the employees who actually install roofs (roofers). General Manager Roy Cranston has asked you to fix the problem. While your primary emphasis might be on having a competitive base pay, you need to decide if there is anything you can do in the incentive department. Before you can make this decision, what information would you like about (a) pay (base + incentive) at major competitors, (b) the nature of the turnover, and (c) next year's labor budget? 2. How is an earnings-at-risk plan different from an ordinary gain-sharing or profit- sharing plan? How might earnings-at-risk plans affect attraction and retention of em- ployees? How does the 2008-2010 recession affect the viability of earnings-at-risk plans? 3. You own Falzer's Tool Coating Company, a high-tech firm specializing in the coating of cutting tools (e.g., drill bits, cutting blades) to provide longer life before resharpen- ing is needed. You are concerned that the competition continues to develop new coat- ing methods and new applications of coating in different industries. You want to create a work environment where employees offer more new product ideas and suggest new industries where these ideas might be applied. What type of compensation plan will you recommend? What are some of the problems you need to be aware of? 4. Why do the new accounting standards make stock options less popular? 5. You are the teacher in a class where team project account for 25 percent of course grades. Each student is assigned to a team and that team is responsible for all team assignments. Student come to you and complain bitterly about one of their mem bers who does absolutely nothing. You know this will affect your teaching ratings if you don't do something about it.
