stakeholders how they recognise the
importance of their employees as a company.
NI contribution

rates which have to be paid by the employer
and this means that any rises for employees will
subsequently effect Tesco as well.

schemes

encourage effeicent working behaviour giving
the employees a reward for doing so.
By Tesco offering this, they are helping god employer
and employee relations and welfare as well as helping
to establish a friendly working environment.
Additions to basic pay

contracted to and are therefore likely to be
paid more for doing this such as time and a
half
Tesco offer overtime to employees
giving them the reward for and
incentive to work extra and pay
employees time and a half.

employee targets and if they reach that then
they are likely to earn a reward from this

as a form of bonus or reward for the hard work they
put in to the business.
Special
allowances
Income tax
This is the tax which an employee
has to pay the government based
on what they are payed from their
job.
Not all Tesco employees will have to pay this as not
all of them earn enough to do so and Tesco could
therefore offer non-monetary benefits to their
employees such as private health care costs.
Skill based payment systems
This is where you are paid more if you
have more skills needed for the job
Factors to consider:
What are the skills needed for
the job?
What happen if an employee
lacks these skills?
How can you regularly
assess the skills?
Are the skills that you are paying
for having a positive impact on
the operations of the company?
For Tesco, when they employee with a
certain skill, they must regularlycheck
and assess the employee for that skill
and also ensure that the particular
skills is positively contributing toward
the business and is thereofre worth
paying employees extra for.
