You are facing 10 different issues raised by circumstances and various members of your organization that each concern these pay structures. Please specifically discuss how you would successfully address each of these 10 different issues. Each question is worth 2.6 points.

1. You plan to recruit for an individual of a job that serves as an anchor position of one of your pay grades. Your organization has determined that you need to pay this individual at no less than the range midpoint to successfully attract a person to fill this job. You have two senior employees who occupy the same job as the position for which you are recruiting. Each of these employees performs their position satisfactorily and are both paid slightly below the range midpoint of their pay grade. These employees have expressed concern that they will be paid below the new employee despite their years of experience with the organization. This outcome is very likely to occur. The organization has very little budget available to make any equity adjustment for the employees of the organization. What is your solution to this problem?

2. In one of the pay grades of your pay structure, you have a hybrid position that is proving difficult for you. The job duties of the position share 70% of the same duties as the anchor position of this pay grade (an anchor position sets the midpoint for a pay grade). The remaining 30% of the job duties for this position are very similar to the anchor position of the pay grade immediately above the pay grade of this hybrid job. The pay of the job is currently based on the pay grade of the lower grade of the pay structure. The manager of this hybrid position tells you that the organization has to make some adjustments in pay for this hybrid position because at the current pay rate his employees in this job are very dissatisfied with their pay. What solutions would you recommend to solve this problem?
