Employers Plan Modest Compensation Increases In 2011 As employers become increasingly concerned about retaining top talent, most are reporting plans to raise salaries modestly in 2011, while continuing to allocate the largest bonuses and base pay increases to key employees and the strongest performers, according to the results of an annual survey on compensation trends by HR consultancy Mercer. COBRA Enrollment Continues Despite End Of Subsidy Many workers who have lost their jobs are choosing to maintain their employer-provided health care coverage by enrolling in COBRA, despite the high price of this coverage since the Federal subsidy for COBRA benefits ended on June 1, according to an analysis by human resources consultancy Hewitt Associates.
