Direct and Indirect = Total Compensation (Research)

Imagine that you are a human resources (HR) manager, and it is your responsibility to identify data to help strategize, benchmark, and develop proper pay

compensation for all positions within the organization. There are tons of software, vendors, and/or other services available to help with developing the pay

grades, levels, and/or categories. Some sites you may consider using include the www.bls.gov website, where you can search via the Occupational Outlook

Handbook and the www.onetonline.gov website where you can select career choice, scroll down to Wages & Employment Trends, click Local Salary Info, then select

State.

For this assignment, you will create an eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint presentation. You will first choose a job title and a location to present the

findings/results. Imagine that you are presenting to your company leaders, and ensure that you identify the following components:

core compensation (direct compensation),
