Pinning down the compensation and performance review system through data base design
Changing the focus of a corporate compensation and performance review system from process orientation to data base orientation results in a more integrated and flexible design. Data modeling of the business system provides both systems and human resource professionals insight into the underlying constants of the review process. Descriptions of the business and data modeling processes are followed by a detailed presentation of the data base model. Benefits derived from designing a system based on the model include elimination of hard-coding, better audit capabilities, a consistent approach to exception processing, and flexibility of integrating changes in compensation policy and philosophy.
