Compensation Review Program

We're committed to systematically reviewing and evaluating compensation for our non-represented staff. The Compensation Review Program is another important component of the salary program for non-represented staff. 

In general, the purpose of the Compensation Review Program is to provide consideration to salary administration challenges resulting from:

  • External labor market pressures,
  • Internal salary compression,
  • A significant salary lag to comparable internal positions, or
  • Increased duties that do not warrant a reclassification.
Partnership is key

Managers and HR Business Partners work in partnership with Compensation Services to support salary equity through continuously working towards fair and consistent compensation practices for all compensation actions.

Ad hoc and annual compensation reviews are additional opportunities to assess for salary equity.
