Competency-based Pay
 What is Competency-based Pay?
Companies that use competency-based pay structures
reward employees based on the skills, knowledge and
experience they apply in the workplace rather than their
job title or position.
This approach is designed to motivate employees to
become aspirational, build on their existing skills and
apply these in their job.
Why use ??
Competency Based Pay Plans PROS
 No Seniority Factor
 For less experienced employees, a benefit of competency-based pay is that the level of
seniority has little bearing on compensation. Instead, the emphasis is placed strictly on
how well the employee performs in relation to competencies such as leadership skills or
attention to detail. This can reduce the feeling that the employee must "pay his dues" to
receive higher compensation.
 Incentive to Achieve
 Competency-based pay plans may also result in increased incentive for the worker to
become a high achiever. She can focus on the attributes that are part of her evaluation
process, with the understanding that if she does well in these areas, she will be rewarded
accordingly.
 Culture of Improvement
 A competency-based pay system can create a "culture of Improvement," according to the
American Academy of Family Physicians. Because compensation is based on showing
improvement in the chosen competencies, a large emphasis is placed on self-development.
This can result in a pervasive cultural attitude that the better you perform, the bigger the
reward.
Competency Based Pay Plans CONS
 Subjectivity
 competency-based plans rate employees according to general criteria instead of specific
accomplishments, a potential drawback is that they introduce subjectivity into the
evaluation process. Concepts such as leadership and the ability to multitask are open to
interpretation, resulting in the possibility of an inaccurate rating.
 Favoritism
 Another possible drawback to competency-based pay plans is that they can result in the
perception of favoritism, according to Locate Staffing. If one worker perceives herself as
more valuable than another but discovers that the other employee received a larger pay
increase, she may draw the conclusion that she is being treated unfairly. Dissension can
be an unwanted byproduct.
 Relationship of Competencies to Performance
 It can be difficult to establish which competencies actually result in improved job
performance or productivity. For example, if your customer service representative
increases the number of inquiries he handles in a day, is it because of an improved ability
to multitask or increased attention to detail that helps him resolve issues more quickly?
