About this Unit
The unit introduces students to critical perspectives in the theory and practice of remuneration. The structure of the course is thematic and considers in turn: the wider context in which remuneration strategies are devised; the strategic decisions that arise in the organisational context if remuneration is to meet regulatory requirements, the organisation's objectives and the expectations of the workforce, and; the component parts (base pay, variable pay) of remuneration systems. Throughout the course contemporary debates in remuneration, with particular application to the Australian context, will be highlighted.
