5 Pay and benefits

My name’s Luigi and I’m a hotel manager in Venice. I get paid a salary every month. In summer

we’re very busy. We work a lot of extra hours, or overtime. The money for this is quite good.

Working in a hotel, we also get nice perks, for example, free meals.

I’m Ivan and I work as a waiter in Prague. I like my job even if I don’t earn very much: I get paid

wages every week by the restaurant. We get the minimum wage: the lowest amount allowed by

law. But we also get tips, money that customers leave for us in addition to the bill. Some tourists

are very generous.

I’m Catherine and I’m a salesman based in Paris. I get a basic salary, plus commission: a

percentage on everything I sell. If I sell more than a particular amount in a year. I also get extra

money – a bonus, which is nice. There are some good fringe benefits with this job: I get a

company car, and they make payments for my pension, money that I regularly after I stop

working. All that makes a good benefits package.

Compensation 1: My name’s Alan. Compensation and remuneration are formal words used to

talk about pay and benefits, especially those of senior managers. Compensation package and

remuneration package are used especially in the US to talk about the pay and benefits that

employees receive. For a senior executive, this may include share options or stock options: the

right to buy the company’s shares at low prices. There may be performance-related bonuses if

the manager reaches particular objectives for the company.

Compensation 2: Compensation is also used to talk about money and other benefits that a senior

manager (or any employee) receives if they are forced to leave the organization, after a

boardroom row. This money is in the form of a compensation payment, or severance payment. If

the manager also receives benefits, the payment and benefits form a severance package.

In Britain, executives with very high pay and good benefits may be referred to as fat cats,

implying that they do not deserve this level of remuneration.

People and workplaces

The people who work for a company, all the people on its payroll, are its employees, personnel,

staff, worker and workforce. But these works can mean just the people carrying out the work of a

company, rather than those leading it and organizing it : the management.

Management and administration : a company’s activities may be spread over different sites. A

company’s most senior managers usually work in its head office or headquarters. Some managers

have their own individual offices, but in many businesses, most employees work in open-plan

offices: large areas where many people work together. Administration or, informally, admin, the

everyday work supporting a company’s activities, is often done in offices like these by

administrative staff or support staff. For example, those giving technical help to buyers of the

company’s products are in technical support.

Labour : labour is spelled labor in AmE. Labor unions, organizations defending the interests of

workers are called trade unions in BrE.

The Institute for Supply Management® (ISM) is the first supply management institute in the world. Since

1915, ISM has executed and extended its mission through education, research, standards of excellence

and information dissemination — including the renowned monthly ISM

Report On Business® — and

maintains a strong global influence among individuals and organizations.

7 The career ladder

A job for life:

Many people used to work for the same organization until they reached retirement: the age at

which people retire, or end their working life. Career paths clear: you could work your way up the

career ladder, getting promotion to jobs that more senior, with greater responsibility. You could

probably not be demoted: moved to a less senior job.

To leave the company, you could resign or hand in your notice.

A job for now :

Modco has downsized and delayered. The number of management levels in the company

hierarchy has been reduced from five to three, and many managers have lost their jobs. Modco

has reorganized and restructured in order to become flatter and leaner.

They did this to reduce costs, and increase efficiency and profits. Employees said the company

used words like “restructure” to make the situation sound positive and acceptable.

In-house staff or freelancers :Modco has outsourced many jobs previously done by in-house

personnel:
