title: Dust Off the Historical Approach to Total Compensation.
abstract: Employers have been afforded new opportunities with the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). ACA creates a unique opportunity for employers to take a fresh, strategically based total compensation approach to planning. The concept of a total compensation framework is not new; however, a new way to achieve this approach is now possible. Employers need to create their own level playing field, and a total compensation approach is the optimal solution. This article discusses how employers that consider a framework driven toward total compensation accomplish many key objectives.
