DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND EQUITABLE COMPENSATION – Boston, Mass.

A large group of physicians that provided medical services at numerous teaching hospitals asked us to establish a system for calculating compensation for its physicians. The work load of these doctors included clinical services to patients, teaching interns and spending time in medical research. The amount of time spent in these three functions varied with each physician. We began by assigning a numerical rating to each type of service performed and within each rating we assigned numerical points based on the time spent by each doctor within the three established functions. At this point we were able to come up with a fair and equitable system for allocating the group’s total available compensation. As a result, all the physicians involved felt they were being treated fairly in relation to their time spent and their professional accomplishments.

The project was revised into developing effective organization and procedures for moving an order from marketing through engineering, purchasing, quality control, and finally into production. Improved production control procedures were developed and implemented - the company became profitable.
