Compensation and Benefits Strategy: Clapton Commercial Construction
The purpose of this paper is to propose a complete compensation and benefits strategy for Clapton Commercial Construction, a company which is expanding into Arizona. To complete the task, team members researched multiple elements which will affect pay and benefit structure. Employment law establishes basic guidelines for the company’s payment structure. Local market conditions and labor force, as well as the pay rates and benefit packages of competitors, were considered. These …show more content…
We normally recommend that companies offer compensation at approximately the 50th percentile of each specific job. However, we are recommending a higher percentile for Clapton Commercial Construction to be successful in a new market and territory. This 75th percentile of compensation positions Clapton Commercial Construction to immediately be seen as one of the top employers in the construction industry right from the start. We do realize that starting wages at the 75th percentile means that they will need to continue to stay at or near this level; we think this move is worth it to attract the best job talent in Arizona and to be successful in all of your construction …show more content…
These include social security and worker’s compensation. Social security taxes must be paid at the same rate as the employee pays (SBA, 2015). According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. However, Arizona’s state minimum wage is $8.05 per hour. In the case where the state’s minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage, the employee shall receive the higher of the two. If an employee works over 40 hours in any week, he or she shall be compensated not less than 1.5 times the hourly rate in which he or she earns. Because Clapton Construction has more than 50 employees, they are required to offer up to twelve weeks of unpaid time to employees for the medical care of an immediate family member or themselves. This is a requirement of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Due to the benefits which are required by law, it is in Clapton Construction’s best interest to find the best value for the worker’s compensation insurance because it is the only controllable

    Many of the federal employment laws can apply to states. For example Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) applies to all states but the amounts differ between states and in most cases the differences are because of the cost of living in different states.

    Construction Economics

    The term value added is used to describe the value of a good at a particular stage of production, compared to the value of the product at the previous stage of production. This value can be measured in monetary terms and provides an alternative way to calculate the total value of the production of a commodity. The point to be emphasized here is that while the value added can be compared in terms of value of the product at the first stage of production and at its last stage of the product, that is the output itself, it can also be calculated on a step-by-step production level basis. To illustrate, suppose a production process has four stages, starting from raw materials, to usable inputs and intermediate inputs, before culminating into the final product. Let’s also assume that the raw the monetary value of the product at the four stages are 10, 17, 23 and 31 respectively. So, while the total value added is 21 (31- 0), we can also see that the series of value added at each production step is 10, 7, 6 and 8 respectively. If we add these four individual step value added, we get the same number as that of total value added (10+7+6+8 = 31). Therefore, summation of value addition at each step is equivalent to total value added. One very relevant and practical use of value addition is applied in the calculation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), where we calculate the value addition at the economy wide level and hence, derive the total GDP.…
