Wage value advice

The wage value represents the economic value of an employee's labor, expressed in euros. This value is determined based on employability, pace of work, quality of work and any additional costs. What is expected of an employee varies by position.

But what if your employee does not meet this expectation (anymore), relative to "the healthy equal" in the same position? Due to illness or injury, for example. In such a case, a wage-value determination can offer a solution.

Puls performs your wage value consultation

Our sister organization Puls specializes in conducting objective wage value surveys. They draw up a clear and workable wage value recommendation, provided the employee has worked in his or her position for at least three months. A reliable estimate is not possible in the case of complete prior absence from work.

What questions does the wage-value survey answer?

The wage-value survey answers questions such as:

  • What qualities and limitations of employees affect his or her job performance?

  • What main tasks does your employee perform and to what extent?

  • How does your employee perform in the aspects of pace, quality and employability?

  • Is there a norm function?

  • What are the requirements in the norm function in the aspects of pace, quality and employability?

  • What is the labor performance and what wage is appropriate for it?

The wage value recommendation comes about through a conversation with you as the employer; an interview with your employee and a comprehensive visit by an employment expert at the workplace.

No healthy equal available?

Wage value determination is done relative to a "healthy peer" in the same job, 8 hours a day. But what if such a reference is missing within your organization, for example in SMEs? In that case, Puls makes a comparison with one or more norm functions from the broader industry or sector. This way, the research remains representative and reliable.
