Compensation for earning a degree?
![Carolil](http://blr-hrforums.elasticbeanstalk.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/BlueAvatar.jpg)
We are having an internal conversation about whether to reward folks with an increase in their salary if they obtain an educational degree. I am interested in what others do. Traditionally we have factored in the degree only when it results in a change in the skills someone can bring to their position in demonstrable ways that justify a higher salary. There is some discussion about rewarding with extra compensation (still built into the salary) so that it isn't left to individual supervisors to determine/advocate for, and as a way of sending the message that we support advanced education.
The degrees in question are most often Masters or PhD level, but can also be 4-year college or associates degree. The degrees must be related to the individual's work.
What does your organization do, or what are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
