Pay decisions are rarely made in isolation. Timing pressure, discretion, and informal workarounds often influence outcomes more than policy alone. This session provides a grounded look at how pay decisions are made in practice, where breakdowns occur, and how decision drift introduces risk over time.
PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPERIENCE
• Real-world pay decision scenarios
• Identification of governance and communication breakdowns
• Peer comparison of decision norms and practices
