A compensation and benefits manager is an important part of any office, and many employees may consider her to be the most important member of the office. She coordinates all salaries and bonuses for employees of a company. She is not in charge of assigning raises, but she is in charge of making sure they’re carried out. She’s also in charge of putting together benefits packages for employees and answering any questions employees have about those packages.

In some companies, the compensation and benefits manager may be called the human resources manager. She’s a go-between for company management, who chooses the compensation and benefits employees receive, and the employees themselves. She keeps track of the hours an employee works and creates his paycheck. She keeps track of all vacation, sick and personal time an employee accumulates and uses. She must have a thorough understanding of all health insurance benefits available to employees so she can explain them. She also must be familiar with the company’s 401k or other retirement benefits plan so she can explain these benefits to employees.

In some large companies with multiple offices, the compensation and benefits manager is in charge of coordinating benefits between offices. She makes sure that benefits are in line with each other across the board. In some cases, that means taking into account different costs of living if offices are geographically distant from each other.

A compensation and benefits manager must be able to relate well to people, as she’ll spend time explaining issues to employees and making sure employees are happy. She also spends a lot of time doing office computer work. In most cases, a candidate for the job should have a Bachelor’s degree in business or a related field. Sometimes, a company may hire a candidate with appropriate experience even if she doesn’t have a degree. Some companies may require ongoing training to keep up with changes in compensation and benefits practices or toward becoming a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist.

Earnings for a compensation and benefits manager vary with the size of the company and the years of experience. A low-end salary is around $45,000 annually. A high-end salary may be $90,000 or more.
