Reviews

?Intended as a text book for managers, but without the typical book format, this is an excellent introduction to cash compensation and benefits....The book provides enough detail for serious readers and gives a balanced presentation of approaches. Highly recommended.?-Stern's Management Review/Stern's Sourcefinder
