, Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION AND STUDY MATERIAL
Welcome to this module, Compensation Management (HRM3705). We will be embarking on
this study journey together and you should view this tutorial letter as your “map” for this part of
the journey.
How much you learn and gain from the HRM3705 journey will depend on how actively you
engage with the study material. If you engage actively with the study material, we are confident
that you will grow and become increasingly competent to handle the challenges facing
compensation management in South Africa.
As you progress with your studies of this dynamic module, you will soon realise that although
money is important, there are many other forms of compensation that are also important to
employees. The challenge that compensation managers face is to link the needs of employees
to the goals of the organisation. It is said that “money makes the world go round”, and
organisations and individuals have a personal interest in compensation.
We will do our best to make your studies of this module successful. You will be well on your
way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to complete the
assignments properly.
Study material
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the semester. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
This tutorial letter (HRM3705/101/3/2015) contains important information about the scheme of
work, resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read through it carefully and
to keep it at hand when working through the study material, completing the assignments,
preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturer.
This tutorial letter (HRM3705/101/3/2015) also contains important information about specific
matters such as assignments, guidelines for studying Compensation Management and
telephone numbers of the lecturers. Study it carefully and refer to it throughout the semester.
This tutorial letter applies to both the first and second semesters.
Please read through Tutorial Letter 301 (HRMALL6/301/4/2015) in conjunction with Tutorial
Letter 101 as it will give you an idea of generally important information when studying at a
distance and within a particular college.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read through all the tutorial
letters you will receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always
contain important, and sometimes urgent, information.
You are also referred to the brochure My studies @ Unisa, which you received with your study
material, for general information on the following:
Unisa facilities
study material
assignments and mark-reading sheets
examinations
