A compensation study evaluates an organization's pay practices against the external market and internal equity considerations. The goal is to ensure compensation programs remain competitive, fair, and aligned with organizational objectives. 

Most organizations should review compensation structures every three to five years. However, organizations experiencing significant growth, recruitment challenges, retention concerns, or changing labor markets may benefit from more frequent reviews.

Pay compression occurs when there is little difference in pay between employees despite differences in experience, tenure, performance, skills, or responsibilities. It often develops over time as organizations increase starting salaries to remain competitive in the labor market while existing employees receive smaller incremental pay adjustments. Left unaddressed, pay compression can negatively impact employee morale, retention, and perceptions of fairness within the organization.
