Background Information
Compensation constitutes more than half the expenditures of most HCOs. From the organization’s perspective, such a large sum of money must be protected against both fraud and waste. From the employee’s perspective, accuracy regarding amount, timing, and benefit coverage should be perfect. Fair compensation is based upon perceptions and must be properly managed to find the win-win for the HCO and the employee.
