CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUD OF THE STUDY

Fisher, et al (2016) noted that the system that an organization uses to reward employees can play an important role in the organization efforts to gain a competitive advantage and achieve its major objective. It is a known fact that an organization is what it pays, for the ways an organization pays its employees contains a philosophy about how they are motivated. Hence the need for every employer of labour to have a well worked out compensation system that is able to attract and keep competent and well motivated employees.

An employee offers his service to an organization because he has wants and needs which the organization can satisfy and by so doing he helps the organization to achieve its own goal. For the service he renders, he is rewarded if the reward is in congnience write the services he renders, he tries to give out his best at the same time retain his job. For this to happen, the employer requires proper and efficient management of their compensation system.

Employee compensations is very important in attaining the objectives of business organizations. The banking sectors are expected to formulate compensations policies which will satisfy the economic needs of their employees so that they can contribute to the attainment of the objective of the organization. For employees to contribute positively to the fulfillment of the objectives of the banking industry, the bank(s) should formulate compensation policies which will satisfy the economic needs of the employees.

There are basically three types of compensation policies in organizations. They are basic, variable and supplementary otherwise referred to as fringe benefits. They all have different functions in the business organizations. In the Nigerian banking sector, employees pay package is quite encouraging as compared with other sectors of the economy. It is enough to meet his/her expected expenditure even if they rate boxers. The issue of strikes here and there (every time) is not in the book of the Nigerian banks. However, it has been noted that the employees level of  contentment in his./her job greatly affect his/her productivity.
