‘Test‐bed’ for Lupton‐Gowler Pay Selection Procedure Available to Purchase

It is now over two years since the Engineering Employers' Federation published a research paper by Tom Lupton and Dan Gowler entitled Selecting a Wage Payment System. When first published, many managers considered it too difficult and complex to read, which in part might have been due to the authors' attempts to digest their procedure to its ‘bare bones’ (and consequently scant explanation is given). However, a major difficulty might well have been the radically different approach to selecting and evaluating payment systems and for many the ‘new’ dimensions presented for consideration, compared with the approach and factors traditionally considered by many firms.
