In any organization once a right candidate is placed on a right job, the person needs to be duly compensated for the job he/she performs. To ensure that this is adequately done, there should be an established consistent and systematic relationship among compensation rates for all the jobs within the organization.

After determining the relative worth of jobs, they are priced, that is, wages and salaries are fixed. This enables organizations to minimize inequalities. Job evaluation plays a prime role in establishing the pay structure. It rates the job alone and establishes internal equality.
After job evaluation, all wage and salary earners are to receive pay. The total pay received are made up in quite a number of different ways by considering some elements in the pay structure such as basic rate, premium rate (over time), bonuses, share of profit, allowances and fringe benefits.

Employees that are satisfied with the relative worth of their job tend to put more effort in their work, this can directly boost the organizations performance and also give them an edge over their counterparts.
