Constructing a Salary Scale

Dear HR professionals,

I have been given a task to create a salary structure of one of our new company. Can anyone give me a basic outline or steps that should be taken in order to arrive at a competitive and fair salary structure.

Best Regards

Jigar

Re: Constructing a Salary Scale

The Monthly Salary structure that we have in our Company is :

Basic - 35% of the monthly CTC
HRA - 60% of the Basic
CCA - 40% of the Basic
Transport - Rs. 800 (Fixed for all the employees)
Medical - Rs. 1250 (Starting from the Sr. Executive grade)
LTA - Rs. 1000 (Starting from the Sr. Executive grade)
PF - 12% of the basic
Special Allowance (SA) - This is the balance figure after deducting all the above components from total CTC.
ESIC - 4.75% (CTC less than Rs. 7500)

We do not include the LTA/Medical in Salary Slips as it becomes taxable.

Hope this suffices you.
