It has a number of 127 staff nurses. In January 1993, the hospital implemented a formal performance appraisal program for its staff nurse, namely merit pay. The merit policy of the hospital got through two main phases:January1993 July 1995Nursing supervisors appraise employee performance annually and give the appraisal form to the HR department.Base the annual raise of all nurses on the consumer price index for the hospitals metropolitan area.Merit pay identification Merit pay, also known as pay-for-performance, is defined as a raise in pay based on a set of criteria set by the employer. It is a generic term for any device that adjusts salaries or provides compensation to reward higher levels of performance. 4Advantages and problem analysis Advantages for nurses Merit pay is an effective device in HR management and become more and more prevalent in profit and non-profit organizations.
