1. **Problem Statement:** Calculate the recommended gross salary and basic pay for selected director positions at Kenya Wildlife Service using the given compensable factor levels and point system matrix. 2. **Formula and Explanation:** The total points for each position are calculated by summing the points corresponding to each compensable factor level from Table II. The recommended gross salary is calculated as: $$\text{Gross Salary} = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{1000} \times 1500000$$ where 1500000 is the maximum salary corresponding to 1000 points. The basic pay is calculated by subtracting the total monthly allowances from the gross salary: $$\text{Basic Pay} = \text{Gross Salary} - \text{Total Allowances}$$ Allowances for Grade II staff are: - House Allowance = 150000 - Entertainment Allowance = 60000 - Security Allowance = 55000 - Meal Allowance = 40000 Total Allowances = 150000 + 60000 + 55000 + 40000 = 305000 3. **Calculations:** **a) Recommended Gross Salary** (i) Director Legal Services and Corporation Secretary - Responsibility: Equipment process (Minimum) = 5 - Material/product (Minimum) = 5 - Safety of others (Low) = 10 - Work of others (Moderate) = 15 - Skill: Education (High) = 56 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Minimum) = 10 - Mental (High) = 20 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Moderate) = 30 - Hazards (Minimum) = 5 Total Points = 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 56 + 88 + 56 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 5 = 300 Gross Salary: $$\frac{300}{1000} \times 1500000 = 450000$$ (ii) Director Human Resource and Administration - Responsibility: Equipment process (Low) = 10 - Material/product (Low) = 10 - Safety of others (Low) = 10 - Work of others (Moderate) = 15 - Skill: Education (High) = 56 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Low) = 20 - Mental (Low) = 10 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Low) = 20 - Hazards (Low) = 10 Total Points = 10 + 10 + 10 + 15 + 56 + 88 + 56 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 10 = 305 Gross Salary: $$\frac{305}{1000} \times 1500000 = 457500$$ (iii) Director Planning, Partnerships and Enterprise - Responsibility: Equipment process (Low) = 10 - Material/product (Low) = 10 - Safety of others (Low) = 10 - Work of others (Low) = 10 - Skill: Education (High) = 56 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Low) = 20 - Mental (Low) = 10 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Low) = 20 - Hazards (Low) = 10 Total Points = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 56 + 88 + 56 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 10 = 300 Gross Salary: $$\frac{300}{1000} \times 1500000 = 450000$$ **b) Basic Pay** (i) Director Internal Audit - Responsibility: Equipment process (Low) = 10 - Material/product (Low) = 10 - Safety of others (Low) = 10 - Work of others (Low) = 10 - Skill: Education (High) = 56 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Low) = 20 - Mental (Low) = 10 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Low) = 20 - Hazards (Low) = 10 Total Points = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 56 + 88 + 56 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 10 = 300 Gross Salary: $$\frac{300}{1000} \times 1500000 = 450000$$ Basic Pay: $$450000 - 305000 = 145000$$ (ii) Director Wildlife Security - Responsibility: Equipment process (Moderate) = 15 - Material/product (Moderate) = 15 - Safety of others (High) = 20 - Work of others (High) = 20 - Skill: Education (Moderate) = 28 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Moderate) = 30 - Mental (Moderate) = 15 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Low) = 20 - Hazards (Moderate) = 15 Total Points = 15 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 28 + 88 + 56 + 30 + 15 + 20 + 15 = 322 Gross Salary: $$\frac{322}{1000} \times 1500000 = 483000$$ Basic Pay: $$483000 - 305000 = 178000$$ (iii) Director Wildlife and Community Service - Responsibility: Equipment process (High) = 20 - Material/product (Moderate) = 15 - Safety of others (High) = 20 - Work of others (High) = 20 - Skill: Education (High) = 56 - Experience (High) = 88 - Knowledge (High) = 56 - Effort: Physical (Low) = 20 - Mental (Moderate) = 15 - Job Conditions: Working Conditions (Low) = 20 - Hazards (Moderate) = 15 Total Points = 20 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 56 + 88 + 56 + 20 + 15 + 20 + 15 = 345 Gross Salary: $$\frac{345}{1000} \times 1500000 = 517500$$ Basic Pay: $$517500 - 305000 = 212500$$ 4. **Summary:** | Position | Total Points | Gross Salary | Basic Pay | |--------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------|-----------| | Director Legal Services and Corporation Secretary | 300 | 450000 | N/A | | Director Human Resource and Administration | 305 | 457500 | N/A | | Director Planning, Partnerships and Enterprise | 300 | 450000 | N/A | | Director Internal Audit | 300 | 450000 | 145000 | | Director Wildlife Security | 322 | 483000 | 178000 | | Director Wildlife and Community Service | 345 | 517500 | 212500 | This completes the calculations for the recommended gross salary and basic pay for the specified positions.
