Notes taken by Latoya.
Kerry was chosen as the leader to accept the information from every body and compile it. Everyone is expected to actively participate and not to wait until last minute to get things going. Dawn will go places to find positions to analyze. We were advised to read information that are sent to us and to give feedback whether good or bad so that consensus can be reached and decisions taken. Jobs were delegated to persons and the group was split in two to step up the work pace.

Re: tasks given
I finished a draft of the literature review and sent it off to the group members at approximately 9pm tonight for their perusal and comments. After that time i also viewed the JDs sent by Dawn and found them to be good. And yes Phebes the work is challenging as i may need some help with the quality management thing but if i really need help you will stay in St. Thomas and hear me shouting with this squeaky annoying voice. I feel kinda energized as well and hope it will last all through the meeting with sir Sunday next so i will send the next item tomorrow. Work diligently everyone!

Project progress
Hi y'all,
Let us give this draft of group proposal our best shot. In looking through we would have touched and familiarize ourselves with all the areas of the project. The way forward would be to now build on the areas. When we submit on Sunday, and with Sir guidance , we should be well on our way. Remember to check your respective organizations for job descriptions of comparable jobs. Colette, as you were not present on Sunday, you could check on those JDs at your organization. A list of the jobs we are looking at will be posted shortly. Groupies, this is a challenging task, but I feel energized and motivated, and I know after this message everyone will feel the same way

Work Breakdown Structure
I saw a format of a WBS and I tried something. Not so sure I got the gist though.
These are some Deliverables which we can use
1. Structured job analysis questionnaire, customized with participation from teachers which can be used for ongoing update of job descriptions
2. job descriptions, which reflect jobs and skills that are currently performed
3. market study which includes pay methods and pay levels
4. competitive analysis for teaching jobs in the public and private sector
5. compensation philosophy and objectives for teaching jobs
6. compensation design characteristics to support philosophy and objectives
7. salary structure (e.g., salary grades, ranges)
8. salary program strategy
9. recommendations job title structure
I will send what I have done via email.

Re: Minutes for Spetember 14, 2008
Compensation Practicum Meeting - September 14, 2008.
Group Supervisor: Mr. Devon Gordon-Rowe
Group members:
Phebe Warren Arlene Rose
Kerry Taffe Molly Palmer
Dawn Gyles Latoya Cameron
Colette Cummings
The meeting started at approximately 9:50 am due to miscommunication as to the exact location of the meeting.
Mr. Gordon-Rowe started the meeting by asking what had the group accomplished during the last week, he was then handed the Group Charter by the group leader Phebe Warren.
Ms. Warren explained that the group members contact information needed to be amended as Ms. Cummings was not present at the debriefing session and could not be contacted prior to this morning.
In his perusal Mr. Gordon-Rowe indicated that section which spoke to “Last Resort” need to tighten up in terms of clarity: what attributed / contributed to the person being asked to leave the group.
He also asked why the name company X was used, in the significance of the project, the group explained that we had not yet decided on which school to use for the project. A suggestion was made to use information from one of the school’s to which a group member was affiliated. On this suggestion Ms. Taffe, a teacher, indicated that it might prove difficult to obtain the necessary information from her school administration. It was then that Mrs. Dawn Gyles indicated that since she was a part of the administration at the Dinthill Technical High School the information needed to complete various areas of the project would be more accessible to her once she received the approval of the Principal.
The group decided that it would use Dinthill Technical High School and Mrs. Gyles would be the resource person, since she is employed to the institution.
Mr. Gordon-Rowe further suggested that we needed to identify the groups within the school on which we would focus.
