Companies tie more of workers’ pay to performance

Employers are coping with lingering uncertainty and slow growth by passing risk on to employees through more pay-for-performance.

Hallock says they may be “interested in a more stable job with lower total compensation than a riskier job with higher compensation. Everybody is a little more worried about risk than they were in the summer of 2008.”
