Therefore, salary management has gradually become the nucleus of human resource management. In the light of modern salary management theory, salary is not only part of the business cost but an indispensable element of a business's human resource strategy. It is supposed to consist with the overall development of a business, and plays a vital role to draw, retain and motivate the staff.Taking education group company Z as an example, this paper analyzes its salary system by means of literary analysis and questionnaires to locate the existing problems.
