1. Compensation Practices: Here is a link that explains different compensation programs: http://www.hr-guide.com/data/G400.htm

In the description of Titan employees are stressed as making the difference to the company. Since that is the case, I would think it would be logical to have a base salary for employees with a profit sharing program. In this manner as employees contribute to the company and the company does well, the employees do well. I would also encourage paying above market rate to attract the best talent and allow the company to be choosy in their selection. I would do this while acknowledging that the company already offers various other perks including employee and family gatherings, athletic games and "various other programs." In competitive industries it takes a complete package to attract and keep employees happy. I would consider each segment of the company in designing the compensation practices: production is automated, they would be on an hourly rate; sales would be commission based to encourage sales, marketing, design and development could be involved in profit sharing.

2. Here is a sample personalized benefit statement link: http://hrforms.thompson.com/samples/HFBNF102_sample.pdf
