Keywords: Compensation. Control Chart. Standard of Living INTRODUCTION A large number of available workers enables an organization to choose the desired workforce. The absorption rate of manpower in Indonesia is still insufficient, as evidenced by the number of registered job seekers that are still far greater than the available job vacancies. With a large number of existing workers, it gives organizations/companies the choice of choosing the desired workforce. To get a workforce following the needs of the organization/company is compensation. The compensation is designed to attract, keep or retain employees. Compensation involves obtaining workers based on the companyAos organizationAos needs. Rizaldy. Kartika. Jayawinangun / Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2. 180-193 general, compensation is meant to attract and retain employees. It is determined based on the internal and external environments of organizations (Kartika, 2020. This is a broader and comprehensive aspect compared to wages. For instance, it involves both financial and non-financial services, while wages prioritize financial Compensation is either a direct or indirect form of remuneration (Kartika. It is the primary motivation for an employee to work and increase Moreover, it can be interpreted as all forms of income, directly or indirectly, received by employees for services provided to the company (Hasibuan. Small and medium enterprises (SME. have the largest employment due to their strategic role in Indonesia's economic development (Bank Indonesia dan LPPI. The number of residents can influence economic development potential. Bogor is a large city with 5. 410 people, indicating a significant potential for developing small and medium industries (Sugiyono, 2. , such as the retail sector. Indonesia has a large retail market potential. The largest contribution to GDP is mainly from the industrial sector at 19,28%, followed by the trade sector, 13%. Therefore, the retail trade sector has the potential to be developed in a modern state (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2. Source: Dcode EFC Analysis Figure 1 Potential Winners and Losers in The Short Term Covid 19 Based on Figure 2, it can be seen that the retail business is included as potential winners even though it is in an uncertain situation such as the covid-19 outbreak, the retail business is still running because it is indeed one of the sectors that are very much needed by the community, so it is important for retail businesses. take advantage of the advantages and maximize these opportunities. The number of retails in Bogor in 2019 is 557 units with wages that must be received according to the predetermined minimum wage. Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2. 180-193 Figure 2 Increase in The Minimum Wage The minimum wage in Indonesia has an average increment of 9. 1%, which can be a disturbing trend for employers. The existing wage policy relies on minimum wages based on the needs for Decent Living (DL) workers. The minimum wage is determined in PP No. 78 of 2015 concerning Wages (Izzaty & Sari, 2. Decree of the Minister of Manpower number 13 of 2012 stipulates that there are 60 KHL Among them, 11 food and beverage items, 13 clothing items, 26 housing items, 2 educational items, 5 health items, 1 transportation item, and 2 items for recreation and savings. The demands of employers and workers are contradictory regarding wages, workers who want wages that are always increasing so want a change in the wage system of pay. The scope of this research is limited to a discussion related to the job value-based compensation system applied to the Bogor retail industry by taking only a few samples from the total retail in Bogor, besides that this study is also limited to discussing the components of the decent living needs which consist of 60 items. LITERATURE REVIEW Decent Living Needs Decent Living Needs, hereinafter abbreviated as KHL, is the need for a single worker/laborer to be able to live physically properly within 1 month. Decent Living Needs in determining the minimum wage as follows based on the 2015 Ministry of Manpower regulation article 2 as follows (Menteri Tenaga Kerja Republik Indonesia, 2. Determination of the Minimum Wage by the Governor based on the KHL and with due observance of productivity and economic growth. Rizaldy. Kartika. Jayawinangun / Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2. 180-193 In determining the minimum wage as referred to in paragraph . , the Governor must discuss simultaneously and consider the following factors: The KHL value obtained and determined from the survey results. Macro productivity which is the result of a comparison between the amount of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and the number of workers in the same period. Economic growth is a growth in the value of GRDP. Labor market conditions, the ratio of the number of job opportunities to the number of job seekers in a certain area in the same period. The most disadvantaged . business condition is indicated by the development of the number of marginal businesses in a certain area in a certain period. Compensation Basic compensation is necessary to maintain employees with an adequate standard of living, but compensation also provides a tangible measure of the individual's value to the company. Compensation is a strategic human resource function that has a significant impact on other human resource functions (Blazovich. Compensation is not only in financial form but also in non-financial form. Direct financial forms are in the form of salaries, wages, commissions, and bonuses, while the indirect forms are insurance, social assistance, leave pay, pension, training, and so on. Besides, the non-financial form includes elements of the type of work and work environment. The elements of the type of work can include responsibilities, concerns, and rewards from the leadership. While the elements of the type of work environment include the comfort of working conditions, the distribution of the division of labor, and company policies. The compensation function does not operate Rather, it is only on the components of the company's human resource Compensation professionals interact with members of varying consistency, including trade union representatives and top executives (Murty & Hudiwinarsih. Salary Structure Adjustment of employee salaries can be done by providing salary increases following basic salary provisions, and cannot cause employees to experience a reduction in salary because this can be counter-productive between employers and employees (Retnowati & Widia, 2. Measurement of the salary structure can be seen from two things, namely range spread and mid to mid . idpoint differentia. , it is explained that range spread is a characteristic of the salary structure which describes the distance between the minimum and maximum value of the salary Whereas mid to mid is a characteristic of the salary structure design which draws the percentage difference between the midpoint values of the adjacent salary The job value of constructing a constructed test can theoretically be carried out by evaluating a set of jobs in a defined hierarchy where relative values have been agreed upon and by using two or more evaluation methods.

SMEAos is an acronym for Small and Medium Enterprises, a term that refers to the types of businesses engaged in their respective fields, here is a table that explains the differences between small and medium enterprises (Badan Pusat Statistika.

The retail business or retail business in Indonesia began to develop in the 1980s as the Indonesian economy began to develop. This arises as a result of growth in the middle class, which has resulted in a growing demand for supermarkets and department stores . onvenience store. in urban areas. The development of this business in the retail industry has also been accompanied by increasingly fierce competition between some retailers, both local and foreign, which have sprung up in Indonesia. The retail industry in Indonesia is currently growing with the increasing number of construction of new outlets in various places. The excitement of retail entrepreneurs in competing to invest in the construction of new outlets is not difficult to With an average economic growth of over 3% since 2000 and the inflation rate is controlled, it could be their reason that the Indonesian economy could strengthen again in the future. The liveliness of the Indonesian retail industry was marked by the opening of new outlets by foreign retailers such as Makro (Netherland. Carrefour (Franc. , and Giant (Malaysia, which was later also partnered with PT Hero Supermarket Tb. , which are spread across major cities. such as Jakarta. Makassar. Semarang. Bandung. Yogyakarta, and so on. Based on the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 112 of 2007 concerning the Arrangement and Development of Traditional Markets. Shopping Centers and Modern Stores, in CHAPTER I paragraph 5 it is explained that "Modern Stores are shops with self-service systems, selling various types of goods in retail in the form of minimarkets, supermarkets, department stores. Rizaldy. Kartika. Jayawinangun / Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2. 180-193 hypermarkets or wholesalers in the form of wholesalers Ay. From the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia. Number 112 of 2007 concerning the Arrangement and Development of Traditional Markets. Shopping Centers and Modern Stores, retail or retail traders can be classified into 4 forms: minimarkets, supermarkets, department stores, hypermarkets. RESEARCH METHODS The retail industry continues to experience rapid growth every year so that the existence of retail has the potential to erode small/traditional retailers. Also, changes in the shopping patterns of the public are increasingly following trends and also increasingly require the existence of modern retail. Therefore, it is necessary to have maximum performance for Retail Industry employees, maximum performance can be supported by an effective and ideal compensation system for these SMEs. The compensation obtained from these SMEs can be financial or nonfinancial. Using the salary mapping method to find out the compensation applied is good or not enough. Also, job grading is carried out using the job value and point system method. Also, the survey results will produce a critical position and compensable factor which will then form the basis for a survey on the decent living needs of retail sector workers. This will be based on the West Java governor's decision on the minimum wage. The results of this study are expected to provide suggestions for the sustainability of the Retail Industry in Bogor. The study was conducted from October 2019 to May 2020 to obtain data on employee salaries and data on the needs for decent living in the retail sector in Bogor. The data was obtained from the results of questionnaires distributed online and offline. The sampling method uses nonprobability sampling (Monroy-Torres et , 2. with convenience for the data of 100 retail workers in Bogor. Taken using the Slovin formula . etode penelitian kuantitatif, kualitatif, dan R&D, 2. Data Analysis Data processing methods in the study are descriptive analysis, the four strategy framework (ERRC Gri. , control chart, and gap analysis. Two ways can be used in the interpretation of data obtained by scale. One of them uses a numerical linear scale (Simamora, 2. This study using a score of five that is converted into a percentage form, with the score is a positive pole . %), and one of the scores is a negative pole . %). The numerical linear scale can be formulated as Based on this formula, the measurement results through a semantic differential scale, with m = 100%, n = 0%, b = 5 classes, it can be described as 100% Oe 0% = 20% The results of these equations, the standards for five classes category are as follows: ycIycI = Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2. 0% - 20% 20% < mode < 40% 40% < mode < 60% 60% < mode < 80% 80% < mode < 100% somewhat unfulfilled rather fulfilled very fulfilled Then to show the number of items that must be reviewed, the ERRC Grid is Grid Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create (ERRC) is a simple tool such as a matrix that encourages companies to focus simultaneously on eliminating and reducing, as well as improving and creating while opening a new blue ocean. To face competition by implementing this strategy, there are at least four actions that must be done by business people (Randall, 2. Figure 2 The Four Strategy Framework Eliminate In business, there will always be things that are considered good but not useful to the community. So, you should have to eliminate or eliminate things that have no value. This is done, to be able to maximize the features and parts available. this case, there is no need to feel lost or feel something is missing if you eliminate In the case of research to eliminate or eliminate items on the necessities of a decent life that are considered unnecessary or needed or are at the 0% -20% fulfillment rate Reduce Different from elimination, reducing here is by reducing the element whose value is less but still needed. This is done if you want to eliminate the elements but not all. In the case of research to reduce items that are considered still lacking in terms of meeting needs workers because they are not yet a priority consumption of workers or are at the 20% fulfillment rate 80% fulfillment. Also, in the discovery of new things for retail sectors such as the determination of the compensable factor, the formation of a new minimum wage, and others. In this study the control chart is used to help detect any deviation by setting control limits, as follows (Kendall et al. , 2. The upper control limit/UCL is the limit of a deviation that is still contested. UCL in the research there will be 2 types of decent living item and decent living expenditure. ycOyaya = ycu ya3 ycI The Center line/CL is the centerline which means there is no deviation of the characteristics sample. yaya = ycu = Ocycu ycA The lower control line / LCL is the boundary line for all sample deviations. Like Ucl, in LCL also used there are 2 in terms of items and expenses. ycOyaya = ycu Oe ya3 ycI Journal of Applied Business and Economics (JABE) Vol 7 No. 2 (December 2.
