Work Over Load:
Some employees have problems when it comes to work load responsibility. These employees may be those that simply do not want to do more than they are supposed to do within the stipulated daily work time. However, as an employer you would need to ass whether this is a real condition or if the employee has genuine problems handling a particular work load. Employees that are overloaded feel that they are either not getting paid enough for their work or that they simply can not handle all the work that they are given even if they were to get an increase in salary.
In cases of overload, where an employee feels that s/he has been working more than the compensation offered overtime payment may arise. As an employer you may want to pay your employee extra to make sure that s/he continues to perform well. Sometimes it is just the matter of being paid more that helps an employee work more and take on a greater load. Remember, more money can do wonders. Naturally, employees that put in greater efforts and a greater number of work hours also need to be compensated. So, you justifiably need to pay an employee extra if s/he is willing to work on assignments that take more than the stipulated work-time.
Work Conditions:
Aside from working extra and being paid justly for additional efforts beyond initial agreements, there are other issues that should be settled. These issues would include workplace conditions, such as physical conditions and employee disagreements.
The physical conditions referred to here would include disturbances that disrupt an employee's work, such as noise, lack of cleanliness, inappropriate temperature, cramped work space, etc. These can be terribly de-motivating. In addition to these conditions being highly inhibiting, there are employee disagreements that inhibit performance as well. These are also ones that should be given due attention.
Alienation:
Coming back to salary-based issues and work load, we can understand how the employer and employee relationship works. People basically come to work for economic returns, but along with this they need to have incentives and things that get them going. Employees are not machines and their labor should never be treated like a commodity. If this happens, they would automatically feel alienated and not put their heart and soul efforts into their tasks.
Solutions to this feeling would include infusing some ideas of involving employees in company tasks. This would help them feel as though they are important to the company's overall working.
