What are the SHRM exams?

You have made the decision to pursue SHRM certification. Which exam should you take? What do the exams entail?

What is the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)?

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a world-wide professional society that has been the leading provider of resources to meet the needs of HR professionals and promoting the advancement of the management of human resources. The SHRM awards certificates for the Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and the Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). Both exams have eligibility requirements that include specific education and work experience criteria. These requirements can be found by visiting www.shrm.org.

ven if you meet the requirements for the SHRM-SCP exam, the SHRM-CP may be your best option depending on your current professional needs. The SHRM-CP is tailored for the HR professional that is involved in an operational role, while the SHRM-SCP fits the HR professional that is in a more strategic role. The SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK) can be helpful in deciding which exam best fits your professional needs. It describes behavioral competencies and HR knowledge needed to effectively perform both operational and strategic roles. You will find it by visiting www.shrm.org.

The SHRM-CP measures the level of competency and knowledge expected of early to mid-level HR professionals. The SHRM-SCP measures the level of competency and knowledge of a senior level HR professional. Both exams are computer-based. Four hours are allotted for the 160 multiple-choice questions. About 60% of the questions involve HR-specific knowledge with the other 40% being scenario-based in which application and decision-making skills are assessed. Credit is given for correct answers only. While more than one answer might address an issue presented in the situational judgment portion, only the best possible response will be awarded credit for being correct. The exams both include 30 field-test questions that do not count toward your score. A provisional pass/did not pass result is issued before leaving the testing center.


SHRM Certified Professional - FAQ Sample Questions

Which of the following is an example of premium pay?





Correct Answer:
on-call pay


premium pay is a type of compensation that employers offer to employees who work under conditions that are considered less favorable, such as non-standard work hours, inconvenient shifts, or demanding job duties that require specific skills. it is generally offered as an additional incentive over and above the employee's base salary to recognize and compensate for the inconveniences or increased skills required by the job.

examples of premium pay include: - **on-call pay**: this type of pay is given to employees who must be available to work, or be on standby, outside of normal working hours. employees receive compensation for simply being available, even if they are not called into work. - **shift differential pay**: this compensates employees who work less desirable shifts, such as night shifts or rotating shifts, which can disrupt normal sleep patterns and personal life. - **weekend and holiday pay**: workers who operate on weekends and public holidays often receive additional pay to compensate for the inconvenience of working during traditional off-hours. - **skills-based pay**: this can be considered premium if it compensates for work involving specialized skills or certifications that are above and beyond the basic requirements of the job.

premium pay differs from other forms of compensation such as: - **market pay**, which is determined by the going rate for a job in the competitive market. - **year-end bonuses**, which are typically based on company performance, individual performance, or a combination of both and are not specifically tied to the hours or conditions under which the job is performed. - **variable pay**, which can include bonuses, incentives, and commissions based on performance metrics, and unlike premium pay, is not necessarily linked to work schedule or conditions.

in summary, premium pay is specifically designed to compensate employees for work conditions that are outside the ordinary, whether that be timing, skills required, or the nature of the duties performed. on-call pay, as an example of premium pay, rewards employees for their availability and readiness to work during off-hours, ensuring that the employer can maintain operations during all necessary times.
