HRM.3:1 - Problem frame

Use this when remuneration, benefits or progression need a justified design or revision: job demands have changed, external rates differ, pay relationships are unexplained, or reward undermines the contribution being requested. Begin by identifying the actual terms and which ground is unsettled. The first useful result is an explained, affordable and institutionally supportable reward arrangement with a usable transition.

The object is the reward arrangement and its grounds. If a current entitlement is clear and only payment is wrong, use ADM directly. An operating appraisal alone does not determine a wage obligation.
