Abstract

Compensation is a systematic approach to provide monetary value to employees in exchange of

work performed. Compensation may achieve several purposes assisting in recruitment, job

performance, and job satisfaction.

The purpose of my project was to monitor how the private commercial banks in Bangladesh used

the compensation system. To elaborate the purpose I choose United Commercial Bank Ltd as my

working project.

To find out the compensation system of UCBL I collect data from face to face interview, survey

questionnaires and personal observation by visiting the bank. I also collect data from the annual

report of the bank and from internet. The main problem of my project report is the short period

of time and I also faced problem and difficulties when accessing the confidential data of the

bank.

The main finding that I get when I tried to find out the compensation system of UCBL is that the

compensation system of the bank is revised when it is necessary with the approval of the

executive committee including director, Admin/HR, and head of the department finance and the

chief executive. UCBL keeps the record of their employees and provides all the basic benefits to

their permanent employees.

My project report has been focused on the compensation system, practiced by UCBL. But the

compensation system varies significantly among banks regarding pay. It could have been better

if I might have worked with all types of banks.
