Using 500 words or more and two references from this weeks reading answer the below question:
Your company is a software technology company with Headquarters in New York City, and branches in San Francisco, Washington, D.C.,, and Chicago. The company provides software development and consulting services to local, state, and federal agencies. The company has expanded its flexiplace program so that employees can work fulltime from home. The President of your company asks you, as the VP for Compensation, whether salaries should be readjusted based on the cost-of-living at the employees work from home location rather than the HQ or branch offices. Explain and defend your response.
The President also asks whether it wouldn’t also be a good idea to begin replacing some of the employees with contingent workers – e.g., contractors – so that the company can get rid of some of the costs for benefits. Explain and defend your response.
