It includes benefits, perks, stock options, etc. (John, 2010).   In today’s challenging and unpredictable economic market, companies are trying to redefine sales strategies, incentives, and pay compensation.   This has become very important because of the way it affects the lifestyle of the employees in a company. To set up a compensation plan, the company will have to update its job descriptions, institute a job evaluation method, conduct pay surveys and develop a pay structure (Cascio, 2004).
