Better Base Pay But Fewer Bonuses for IT Pros

eWeek carries an article titled, "Better Base Pay But Fewer Bonuses for IT Pros." In a change from prior pay structures, more than half of IT professionals are now earning better pay for additional tech skills, but not via cash bonuses, according to a new study.

Foote Partners says that skills pay has now been tucked into base salaries.

The dominant practice today is to incorporate additional pay for IT certifications and noncertified skills into workers' base salaries.

The study found that employers have a preference for salary-based skills pay because it solves the problem of workers disgruntled because their pay is not where other salary studies say it should be.
