Wages In Human Resources - A study by Artur Victoria

Economists usually sneer at attempts to tie appropriate wages to positions based on an artificial scale of value. Wages, according to economics, should reflect conditions of demand and supply. The sort of scale constructed in schemes such as: 1) Might capture something of what is important in the demand for labor services, but it misses the supply side. 2) Potentially come closer to impounding both demand and supply factors, but they still miss the impact of factors omitted from the job analyses. leia todo o artigo

Layoff Of Senior Human Resources - A study by Artur Victoria

To the extent that senior workers are, by virtue of their seniority, more highly paid, the firm gets more economic bang by terminating more senior employees. In settings where the knowledge base and technology change rapidly, recent hires may be more in tune with important new developments, giving another reason to discharge more senior workers. But potential claims of age discrimination (in locations where there are laws against age discrimination) must be attended to. Consequently, when a firm decides it would prefer to prune selectively from its more senior workers, early retirement programs, carefully crafted to avoid any adverse selection and appearance of age discrimination, may be more desirable. Layoffs targeted at older workers are also unlikely to appear distributive just. Organizations with a culture that emphasizes loyalty will obviously have an especially difficult time with targeting senior workers, as will organizations that depend on slowly developed firm-specific human capital. leia todo o artigo
