A value based remuneration system can be ranked among the modern remuneration systems. The value based remuneration systems focus their attention on the interconnection of the personal objectives of employees with the objectives of owners. Such an aim can be accomplished by meticulously selected evaluation quantities. A presented article concentrates on the economic value added quantity. This topic was a subject of an undertaken research within the framework of the Internal Grant Agency of the Faculty of Business and Management, the partial objective of which was to acquire the information on the value based remuneration systems applied in the small and medium-sized enterprises situated in the South-Moravia region. Selected research results are presented in the submitted article. The investigation research outputs enriched and completed a literary background research and together with the secondary research results facilitated the formulation of pre-requisites appropriate for the value based remuneration system application in the remuneration schemes of the small and medium-sized enterprises. On the basis of the formulation of these pre-requisites the article describes the EVA indicator implementation progress steps in the value based remuneration system and, subsequently, an employee value based remuneration model with the indicator of the economic value added is introduced.
