Evaluation and Design of Employee Wage Structure and Scale at PT Bumi S Using the Two-Point Method

Reinhart Sianturi — 2026-06-24

The absence of a structured salary system and a standardized job evaluation framework may lead to a misalignment between job value and employee compensation, potentially resulting in internal inequity. This issue is evident at PT Bumi S, where the existing compensation system remains relatively informal and is not fully based on systematic job valuation. This study aims to evaluate the current compensation system and to develop a more structured and equitable salary structure based on job value. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining questionnaire data and in-depth interviews with managers and employees. The analysis was conducted using job value assessment, job grading, and salary mapping to examine the existing pay structure, followed by the application of the two-point method to design salary ranges across job levels. The findings indicate that the current salary structure lacks clear differentiation and does not adequately reflect variations in job responsibilities, although all wage levels exceed the regional minimum wage standards. The proposed structure establishes four job grades with defined minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary ranges that increase proportionally across levels. These results suggest that a job value–based salary structure can enhance internal equity, improve compensation consistency, and support higher levels of employee motivation and performance.

Investment Decisions in Capital Budgeting from a Conservatism Perspective

Arofatul Hidayah — 2026-06-24

A company certainly has plans for the capital it possesses, and this is a necessity as it will lead to matters that can influence the company, one of which is investment decisions. Proper capital budgeting will support the right decisions. The results of these investment decisions will affect the company's performance. However, in essence, due to the presence of bias or misalignment of available information, it can affect the effectiveness of the decisions made. One such bias that can influence investment decisions is the conservatism bias, which is an effect caused by the managerial intention to disregard or be slow to react to the latest information due to a comfortable condition based on previous experiences. Using a literature study approach, by studying books, references, and previous research findings, the result shows that conservatism bias has a positive relationship with investor behavior and financial risk tolerance. To improve the effects of this bias, substantial improvements need to be made in the type, form, and method of communication of information in financial decision-making.

Yuda Prayuda — 2026-06-24

Employee performance at CV Dwi Sport Ekatama is influenced by the work environment and work motivation, as revealed in this study. A total of 30 employees participated as respondents in a survey that used a quantitative approach.

These results reinforce the idea that steps to improve employee performance should be directed toward creating a supportive work atmosphere and strengthening work motivation so that the achievement of company goals can be maximized

EVALUASI DAN DESAIN STRUKTUR SKALA UPAH DENGAN METODE OVERLAPPING DAN ADHERED DI PT XYZ

Lindawati Kartika — 2026-06-28

The increasing demand for effective human resource management drives organizations to establish fair and well-structured compensation systems. This study aims to analyze and compare improvements in salary structures using a salary mapping approach at PT XYZ. Data were collected from 60 employees through job analysis, payroll documentation, and interviews with management. The analysis involved job grading, salary structure design, and salary mapping evaluation to assess internal pay consistency. The findings indicate that the initial compensation structure did not fully reflect internal equity, as shown by inconsistencies between mid-to-mid and spread values across several job grades. The overlapping method resulted in a more flexible salary structure due to overlapping pay ranges between grades. In contrast, the adhered method produced a more structured system with clear salary boundaries and no overlap between job levels. Overall, the adhered method is more effective in establishing a systematic and proportional compensation structure that aligns with the company’s financial capacity.
