Equity is concerned with felt justice according to natural law or right when an
employee receives compensation from the employer, perceptions of equity are
affected by two factors: -
1. The ratio of compensation to one’s inputs of effort, education, training, endurance
of adverse working condition.
2. The compensation of their ratio with the perceived ratios of significant, other
people with whom direct contact is made.
Equity only exists when a person perceives that the ratio of outcomes to inputs is in
equilibrium with respect of self and in relation to others.

RECARDO’S SUBSISTENCE THEORY OF WAGES
This stated that wages should be fixed at subsistence level if the wages were higher
than the subsistence level; there would be an increase in supply of labour and
consequent decrease in level of wages to a subsistence level. If wages were below
subsistence level then labour employed i.e. demand for labour would increase and rise
to subsistence level. According to this theory the wage should be the subsistence
wage.
ADAM SMITH’S WAGE FUND THEORY
5. For useful Documents like this and Lots of more Educational and Technological Stuff Visit...
www.thecodexpert.com
According to Adam Smith there is a corpus of funds from which wages are paid out
and to increase wages efforts must be made to increase this corpus through greater
productivity.
KARL MARKS THEORY
Karl Marks propounded that labour would never be adequately compensated as the
profits of capitalists could only be considered if labour was under paid.
Wage and salary:
Wages represent hourly rates of pay, and salary refers to the monthly rate of pay,
irrespective of the number of hours put in by an employee. Wages and salaries are subject
to annual increments. They differ from employee to employee, and depend upon the
nature of job, seniority, and merit.
Incentives:
Also called ‘payments by results’, incentives are paid in addition to wages and salaries.
Incentives depend upon productivity, sales, profit, or cost reduction efforts.
There are: (I) Individual incentive schemes, and
(ii) Group incentive programs.
Individual incentives are applicable to specific employee performance. Where a given
task demands group effort for completion, incentives are paid to the group as a whole.
The amount is later divided among group members on an equitable basis.
Fringe Benefits:
These include such employee benefits as provident fund, gratuity, medical care,
hospitalization, accident relief, health and group insurance, canteen, uniform, recreation
and the like.
Perquisites:
These are allowed to executives and include company car, club membership, paid
holidays, furnished house, stock opinion schemes and the like. Perquisites are offered to
retain competent executives.

Rewards:
People join organizations expecting rewards. Firms distribute money and other benefits in
exchange for the employee’s availability, competencies and behaviours.
