Sports. D As we all know ,the organization and management of wages and salaries are very complex . Generally speaking ,the Accounts Department is responsible for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay. If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance.In order to be successful,that new pay structure will need agreement between trade unions and employers. In a job evaluation, all the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in points”, which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibilities, and their ability to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points. In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should compare the value of each job with similar jobs in the job market. It should also consider economic factors such as the cost of living and the labor supply. It is necessary that payment for a job should vary with differences in the way that the job is performed. Where it is simple to measure the work done, as in the work done with the hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen; for indirect workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payment are employed.68. What do the underlined words in the last paragraph mean? A. Plans in which much payment is encouraged. Bpay systems which encourage laziness. C.Pay systems. D.Pay systems which encourage workers because the more work they do,the more money they get.69.Methods of additional payment are adopted for indirect workers because_ A.their work is not important B.they have low wages C.the measurement of their work is difficult D.the company does not have enough money70.Which of the following statemetes is TRUE according to the passage? A.In every company ,only the Accounts Department takes charge of the management of wages and salaries. B.Management work and jobs done by works use the same evaluation system C.If a job is done differently,the payment for the job should be different too. D.An evaluation system based on points is usually used to evaluate management work.71.The main purpose of the passage is to_ A.explain the responsibilities of both the Accounts Department and the Personnel Department. B.explain how to evaluate the performance of a job by points C.tell readers how a company should adopt a new payment system D.convince readers that management work is more difficult to evaluate than the work done by workersE It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becomingHorrible.
