What are the disadvantages of the traditional salary system?

Defects of the traditional salary system According to the practice of the traditional salary theory, the salary scheme is formulated, and the market survey is carried out first, then the ranks and grades are discharged, and the posts of the same level and the same category are classified and filed, and finally the salary standard of the enterprise is formulated according to the actual situation. However, it turns out that this so-called classic approach is actually very difficult to work. There are three possibilities for this practice to "hit a wall everywhere":

The first is the incorrect factors of salary survey. Generally speaking, when making an enterprise's salary plan, we must not roughly observe the overall market situation, but must comprehensively consider the industry nature, products, scale, personnel structure, payment ability, balance level, geographical location and other factors of the enterprise to conduct market research. The collected sample data should be as true and reliable as possible, otherwise it will only "spread wrong information".

Secondly, there are many factors that lead to great deviation in rank and grade setting. For example, under the influence of "the will of the chief executive", some positions are considered very important by managers, and their ranks are set at a high level, but this is not the case; Some positions have lower ranks, but it is impossible to hire suitable talents in the market with the salary of this rank. This unscientific ranking will inevitably lead to the failure of the salary scheme.

Third, it is difficult to integrate the existing salary structure of enterprises. Some old enterprises have long been "a radish in a pit, and everyone has his own account". All of a sudden, it's hard for everyone to accept "scientific management". If the wage standard is raised upwards, it will definitely be no problem; If it is lowered, it will definitely attract everyone's opposition, and the new plan is likely to be abandoned.
