Reviews
"I feel I have learned so much I wasn't aware of with how compensation is calculated in the workplace, and all the different types of pay increases, and why there isn't just one form of pay for everyone in a company. Even though I knew about salary and hourly differences, non-exempt and exempt employees, I wasn't aware of all the different ways compensation is considered and the reasons why. I would definitely recommend this course!"
