C Home - Mylvy Module 6 Written Assignment - Pay Raise A You are the HR Manager for a small company that produces and sells pretzels using the company's secret recipe for pretzel dough. In addition to offering hand-rolled pretzels and pretzel sticks with several different dipping sauce choices, the company also offers pretzel bites and stuffed pretzels. In addition to selling its products online and in some specialty grocery stores, the company operates 8 kiosks in shopping malls in a large metropolitan area. Each kiosk has onsite baking equipment, a soft drink dispenser, an ice maker, and humidity-controlled showcases. In addition to pretzels, each kiosk also offers soft drinks and bottled water. You must make merit pay increase recommendations for 5 of the managers of each of the kiosks. These managers have just completed their first year with the company and are now to be considered for their first annual raise. Each of the managers supervises a staff of 3 part-time employees on 2 different shifts. Each has at least an associate's degree, and 1 (Bob Berghoff) has a bachelor's degree. Their salary differences reflect varying levels of sales and management experience at the time of hire. There are no formal company policies or guidelines regarding merit pay increases; however, you must stay within your merit increase budget of $12,000. Additionally, keep in mind that you may be setting precedents that will shape future expectations. Be prepared to justify your decisions to senior management if questioned. Read through each of the synopses of the managers and then write a report that answers each of the answers at the end of the case study. Adam Andorfer - Current Salary: $32,950 Sales at the kiosk Adam manages are well below that of the other kiosks, and he has had problems with staff turnover. However, you know that Adam has one of the toughest kiosks in the region to manage. The shopping mall is in a less-than-desirable part of town, and several of the stores in the shopping mall have closed, resulting in decreased foot traffic throughout the mall. If you lose Adam, it will probably be difficult to find an adequate replacement. Bob Berghoff - Current Salary: $33,750 Bob has had some performance problems over the past year. For example, there have been a few times when his kiosk was not opened on time because he was late. He is not particularly well-regarded by the employees he manages, who've complained that he has a "dictatorial" attitude and drives them hard to serve customers while he sits back and texts friends on his phone. However, sales at his kiosk have been strong, partly due to the fact that his kiosk is in a high-traffic mall in a relatively affluent area. 80 F3 Q F4 # 3 $ 4 E R MacBook Air F5 F6 % 95 6 & 7 A DII F7 F8 8 F9 8 9 O F10 C Home - Mylvy Module 6 Written Assignment - Pay Raise A You are the HR Manager for a small company that produces and sells pretzels using the company's secret recipe for pretzel dough.
