Compensation
demystified
Introduction
Knowing how to competitively compensate your employees, particularly your best
performers, is crucial to the success of your business. Moreover, depending on the
business you’re in, you may have to deal with turbulent fluctuations in demand
regarding certain positions; new roles emerge and existing ones can transform or
even disappear, throwing more and more wrenches into your compensation plans.
Such fluctuations are particularly true within the STEM sector (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics), which not coincidentally also happens to be one
of Canada’s fastest growing career categories.
In this, Roevin’s 2014 Compensation Guide, we offer businesses the insights they
need to remain knowledgeable, competitive, and fair with regard to how they
compensate their workforces throughout the year ahead.
With that said, it’s also important to remember that compensation is more than
salary. Many of the most competitive organizations strike a balance between
monetary remuneration and the benefits they offer their employees. Health and
dental coverage, pension plans, a family-friendly corporate culture, telecommuting
options, recognition programs, and promotion opportunities all go a long way in
making your organization appealing to top talent. In fact, studies have shown that
while salaries below market value can most certainly deter qualified candidates,
money also has its limits as a motivator. Employees need to feel they are taken
care of by their employers on a personal as well as a professional level, which is
why throwing more and more money at a morale problem is never the answer.
This compensation guide provides you with the latest fair market value salary
ranges for your business, and we hope that you leverage those figures not as
the be-all end-all when it comes to offering competitive compensation, but as
one component, however crucial, in a larger, more comprehensive and effective
compensation strategy.

The big picture:
total compensation
Introduction
Cash Compensation
Cash compensation includes base salary and variable pay. It is important to
ensure your salary ranges are in line with the market and consistent from an
internal equity perspective. Variable pay includes any incentive, commission,
and/or bonus payments you offer to employees. Variable pay structures should be
designed in such a way that they reward employees based on the performance
or production expectations of their roles within the organization. It is important
that employees make the connection between their positions and the variable pay
they will receive for meeting and achieving these defined expectations. Although
this is generally the largest and most obvious form of compensation, it is only one
piece of the total compensation package and should be looked at in aggregate
with the rest of the total rewards package offered.
Benefits and Income Protection
The health and wellness of employees should be a top priority for employers and
it pays to invest in a competitive benefits package. Complete benefits packages
generally include extended health and dental coverage as well as income protec‑
tion benefits, such as life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insur‑
ance, critical illness coverage, and short- and long-term disability programs. Some
organizations offer a flexible benefits program that allows employees the opportu‑
nity to customize their benefits packages based on their personal needs.
Pension and RRSP
It is never too early to start putting money aside for retirement, and many
employers recognize the value in giving their employees the opportunity to get
a head start on retirement savings through company sponsored pension and
RRSP plans. Contributions are generally set up through payroll deductions with the
employer matching all or a portion of the employees’ own contributions.
The definition of
“total compensation”
is different for every
organization and can
change depending
on structure,
business strategy,
and overall culture.
There are a number
of components
that make up an
organization’s total
rewards package.
Other
In addition to the above compensation and benefits programs, employers
often offer other more intangible total rewards programs, such as Employee
Assistance Programs, Group Home and Auto Insurance discount rates, Education
Reimbursement Programs, Referral Bonus Programs, corporate gym rates, on‑site
daycare, competitive time-off policies, and flexible work schedules.
However you design your total rewards package, it is important to consider what
is important to your employees and, wherever possible, to offer benefits that are
meaningful to the demographic you have.

About the
compensation data
in this guide
Introduction
The compensation data presented throughout this guide is centred on information
acquired from objective third-party suppliers and, to further ensure alignment with
local demands for talent, fair market evaluations are conducted based on Roevin’s
national industry expertise.
Figures represent a mix of both public and private sectors. The job descriptions
supplied outline the responsibilities and complexities of each position and provide
further justification for the published pay ranges.
As discussed already in this guide, total compensation is impacted by many
factors, including company size, benefits offered, geographic location, educa‑
tional requirements, and local trends in supply and demand. The data presented
in Roevin’s compensation guide represents total annual cash compensation.
Total cash compensation includes base salary plus all applicable incentives
and commissions.
For more information about salaries as they apply to your local job market,
please contact your local Roevin representative today. To identify the Roevin
branch office in your area, visit us online at roevin.ca.
