PREFACE
Human resource is the most vital resource for any organization . It is responsible
for each and every decision taken, each and every work done. Employees should
be managed and motivated by providing best remuneration and compensation as
per the industry standards. The lucrative compensation will also serve the need for
attracting and retaining the best employees.
Compensation is the remuneration received by an employee in return for his/her
contribution to the organization. It is an organized practice that involves balancing
the work-employee relation by providing monetary and non-monetary benefits to
the employees.

Components of compensation:Basic wages/Salaries:This refers to the cash component of the wage structure based on which other
elements of compensation may be structured. It is normally a fixed amount which
is subject to changes based on annual increments or subject to periodical pay hikes.
It is structured based on the position of an individual in the organization and differs
from grades to grades.
Dearness allowance:The payment of dearness allowance facilitates employees and workers to face the
price increase or inflation of prices of goods and services consumed by him. The
onslaught of price increase has a major bearing on the living conditions of the
labor. The increasing prices reduce the compensation to nothing and the money's
worth is coming down based on the level of inflation.
The payment of dearness allowance, which may be a fixed percentage on the basic
wage, enables the employees to face the increasing prices.
Bonus:6 | Page
The bonus can be paid in different ways. It can be fixed percentage on the basic
wage paid annually or in proportion to the profitability. The Government also
prescribes a minimum statutory bonus for all employees and workers.
There is also a bonus plan which compensates the Managers and employees based
on the sales revenue or Profit margin achieved. Bonus plans can also be based on
piece wages but depends upon the productivity of labor.
Commissions:Commission to Managers and employees may be based on the sales revenue or
profits of the company. It is always a fixed percentage on the target achieved. For
taxation purposes, commission is again a taxable component of compensation.
The payment of commission as a component of commission is practiced heavily on
target based sales. Depending upon the targets achieved, companies may pay a
commission on a monthly or periodical basis.
Mixed plans:Companies may also pay employees and others a combination of pay as well as
commissions. This plan is called combination or mixed plan. Apart from the
salaries paid, the employees may be eligible for a fixed percentage of commission
upon achievement of fixed target of sales or profits or Performance objectives.
Nowadays, most of the corporate sector is following this practice. This is also
termed as variable component of compensation.
Piece rate wages:Piece rate wages are prevalent in the manufacturing wages. The laborers are paid
wages for each of the Quantity produced by them. The gross earnings of the labour

do not face any kind of difficulties during their stay in the guest house.

work during normal shifts due to their personal problems and valid reasons.
IMPORTANCE OFCOMPENSATION
Compensation and Reward system plays vital role in a business organization.
Since, among four Ms, i.e. Men, Material, Machine and Money, Men has been
most important factor, it is impossible to imagine a business process without Men.
Every factor contributes to the process of production/business. It expects return
from the business process such as rent is there turn expected by the landlord,
capitalist expects interest and organizer i.e. entrepreneur expects profits. Similarly
the labour expects wages from the process. Labor plays vital role in bringing about
the process of production/business in motion. The other factors being human, has
expectations, emotions, ambitions and egos. Labor therefore expects to have fair
share in the business/production process.
Labor plays vital role in bringing about the process of production/business in
motion. The other factors being human, has expectations, emotions, ambitions

Labor therefore expects to have fair share in the business/production process.
Therefore a fair compensation system is a must for every business organization.
The fair compensation system will help in the following:
o An ideal compensation system will have positive impact on the
efficiency and results produced by employees. It will encourage the
employees to perform better and achieve the standards fixed.
o It will enhance the process of job evaluation. It will also help in setting
12 | P a g e
up an ideal job evaluation and the set standards would be more realistic
and achievable.
o Such a system should be well defined and uniform. It will be apply to all
the levels of the organization as a general system.
The system should be simple and flexible so that every employee would be able
to compute his own compensation receivable.
o It will raise the morale, efficiency and cooperation among the workers.
It, being just and fair would provide satisfaction to the workers.
o Such system should also solve disputes between the employee union and
management.

o The business organization can think of expansion and growth if it has the
support of skillful, talented and happy workforce.

monthly basis as per the employment law, which is provided later to the
employee. Organizations also contribute the same amount to the provident
fund of the employee.

employee can accept the offer or choose to negotiate details of the offer, usually by
a deadline stated by the employer.
The employer states a deadline to ensure that salary negotiations take place in a
short period of time so that the new employee can start work expeditiously. Or, the
employer realizes that they will not reach an agreement with the candidate and can
contact other qualified potential employees before they are unavailable in the job
market.
Salary negotiations are most effectively conducted by one person who responds to
the candidate after consulting with other organization key players. Using a point
person for salary negotiations eliminates the possibility of mixed messages and
misunderstood or poorly communicated offers and responses. Using a point person
in salary negotiations is another opportunity for the employer to continue to build
the relationship with its selected candidate.
Successful salary negotiations result in an employment contract that is acceptable
to both the employer and the new employee.
Salary Negotiations Subject Matter
Anything and everything in the job offer is negotiable. The amount of
compensation, the benefits package, and the working conditions including days
and hours of employment, work flexibility options, title, and severance pay are all
negotiable.
Salary negotiations depend on the position. Leeway for salary negotiations
generally increases with the level of the position within the organization.
Executives and senior managers have the most leeway for a range of executive
compensation negotiations around salary, benefits, and perquisites or perks.
Approach salary negotiations from a win-win perspective. You don't want a new
employee who joins your organization already disgruntled from the salary
negotiations. At the same time, you don't want an overpaid employee who doesn't
earn his keep and is ineligible for increases in compensation within a reasonable
time frame.
Salary Negotiations Flexibility
The employer's salary negotiations leeway depends on these factors:

METHODOLOGY
In order to achieve the above mentioned objective and finish the study to
perfection I have made a judicious and a balanced use of primary and secondary
sources of data collection. The primary sources comprise of:
21 | P a g e
Personal visits to the several news paper agencies gather their feedback
regarding compensation management process.
Intense survey of rural and urban areas of CG and understanding the pattern
how such massive scale recruitment and its policy making.
Direct communication with the person who were knowledgeable and in
charge of operations in every field in THE HITAVADA.
To facilitate my operations I had first chalked out a detailed questionnaire
covering in length all questions that would serve the purpose in the most
efficient and productive manner. The preparations and the formulation of the
questionnaire was on the basis of many assumptions and considerations viz.,
the time the survey audience would require for giving me the required
answers, the importance of that time and cost involved and copy of said
questionnaire is included in this project a s annexure.
Although the efforts were directed basically towards obtaining information
required for the study from primary sources to the maximum possible extent,
due to factors like:
Lack of cooperation anticipated from several news agencies.
Lack of time for answering the questionnaire by the news officials
Unavailability of person in charge.
I had to resort to secondary sources like websites, magazines,
newspapers etc. Bibliography of these sources forms a part of this
project for ready reference of the reader.
DATA ANALYSIS:
The data gathered for this project are of complete relevance to my topic of the
project. These all survey and statistics reveals clearly that newspapers have a
major role to play in the image building of any business and also its social image
in the society, out of all sources news papers are considered to be the most
reliable sources for getting authentic information regarding any business or
company.

DESCRIPTION
ROLE OF NEWSPAPERS IN COMPANYS PUBLICITY:
Newspapers play a very major role in spreading the news good or bad to the
masses. All kind of activities may it be in the public or private sector is highlighted
by the newspapers.
News papers play the below mentioned roles in the business:

economic
positive negative social political
al
POSITIVE IMPACT:
Creates awareness
Increases brand equity
Stimulates sales
Supports advertising
28 | P a g e
Generates business
Helps to communicate with other stakeholders and share holders connected with
the company.
Eg : as per the information from JCB they told that after giving their
advertisements in newspapers like THE HITAVADA huge response has been
received from the areas where we can never think of. As currently rural market is
very fertile and untapped and if one allocates a small space in the newspaper then it
is read and received by all the farmers who hardly have time to watch TV or listen
to ads on radio.
NEGATIVE IMPACT:
Rarely the case of negative impact occurs but if any wrong source has a good name
and relation in print media can spoil the name of other competitors by spreading
unwanted and fake news.
E.g.: in case of TATA INDUSTRIES the NEERA RADIA tape case a created
rumors that even TATA was also involved all the conversation were mentioned in
the newspapers which created a very bad image for that company who has been a
leader of business sector in terms of loyalty and integrity.
SOCIAL:
29 | P a g e
All the companies should focus on having good relations with the print
media. As many organization try and avoid their bad name in newspaper
because it directly hampers their image in the society.
Companies are largely affected socially when few of news may be in favor
or against are mentioned in print media. It is on papers then it may be
referred and exposed to many layers of society and create an undesirable
image.
On the other hand company has immense impact on goodwill when a good
or appreciating news in printed in newspaper.
Each government organization is also having great impact because of the
print media. Eg 2G SPECTRUM scam it shattered the image of government
and faith of common masses.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY :
It is largely effected by media coverage once the event is successful it
is not in the knowledge of massive public unless printed or conveyed to
media.
POLITICAL:
The political affect is that all the democracy is aware of the goods and
bad of every political leader and keeps an eye while voting and make
a fair judgment.
This image is build up by constant news mentioned in the newspapers
about that particular political party of leader. It had immense impact
on the reputation of that leader.
While doing charity or any good work also they are largely affected
and benefitted.
Each and every political party has a clear image in the minds of the
newsreader as they follow up each and every action of the party and
leader as well.
Eg. Anna Hazare had been highlighted soo effectively by the media
that he has been acclaimed nationwide and all the people belonging to
several regions and states came to co-operate him for the anticorruption drive.
