Salary and benefits

Salaries are the pay the employees receive in exchange of their work. For retaining employees and getting their best the companies are setting wages and salaries very carefully. The importance of salaries increases when a company has technical employees as they have great demand in the market. As the KAPCO is a semi government organization so the basic pay scales are same as in other government organization the other benefits are Salary as per basic pay scale 85 percent kapco allowance Free Electricity units according to job rank Free medical of the all the dependent of the employee Free education for children in KAPCO colony Free accommodation/allowance Mobile and petrol allowance for officers Facility of fair price shop

SWOT Analysis Strengths

Kapco has the hardworking, cooperative and trained staff. As well as very friendly environment. The turnover ratio is very low because it is offering best packages to its employees. The HR dept is working for the increasing communication and computer skills of lower staff. All manual procedures have been computerized. Modern softwares are in use for quick and efficient system .Health and safety department has ensured complete safety and security to workforce. The price of the share of the kapco is always high than the price of share issue 1st time. It has the biggest store in Pakistan. Easy access to the top management.

Weaknesses
As the wapda is the only buyer of electricity so the company is bound to give supply according to the choice of wapda.

 After 2006 it is paying taxes while the 1st ten years it was exempt from this. During the last ten years no expansion has been made for power generation. The fear of inquiries is always there as the new government has changed the some points of power purchase agreement.

Opportunities:
All the expansion programs of KAPCO is free of tax. As the whole country is facing the problem of electricity the importance of this power plant has much increased and it is effecting its share price.

Threats:

As the wapda is the only buyer of the electricity in Pakistan and company is bound to sale electricity to wapda, so it is totally depending on wapda for payments. The kapco has to import the machinery and spare parts as well as the services of experts from abroad so the security conditions in Pakistan is very important. In Pakistan, Several other projects are coming up in power generation. So Kapco management will face numeral challenges in technical workforce, because new competitors will offer better packages.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Transport facility will provided for pick and drop

 On weekly basis late employee report will send to the General Manager There should be awards and prizes for regular employees The O.D section will be responsible for the training of the whole staff. In apprenticeship the quota for the children of KAPCO employees should be maintained There should be proper career counseling for the employees of KAPCO There should be job rotation for different sections as employees should have maximum skills which are beneficial for the KAPCO.

In purchase department
Instead of companies the proprietor should be black listed The companies owned by the same owners should allow sending single tender While going for sending inquiries for the purchase of different supplies the new supplier should be provided equal opportunities. After the comparative statement has been developed the budget holder or concerned engineer should be call to the procurement department for the purchase decision and the selection of supplier should be with negotiation. There should be proper record of supplier assessment questionnair.

Finance department
There should be proper division of work among the Employees There is need of one or two assistant in the tax and reporting section. The suppliers should be told in advance about the requirements of company regarding different document (sale tax invoices) etc.
