ALA Rolls Out New Incentive-Based Pay Plan

摘要

On September 1, ALA implemented a new compensation and performance management system for all ALA employees at the Association's Chicago headquarters, its Washington Office, and the Choice magazine office in Connecticut. In 1999, senior management at ALA, with the approval of the Executive Board, undertook a major overhaul of the Association's job classifications, compensation system, and performance-evaluation system, which were last reviewed in 1987. The goal was to modernize job descriptions; streamline classification schedules; bring salary schedules into line with comparable organizations; improve consistency across offices, units, and divisions; and implement a goal-based, incentive-driven performance-management system.
