Salary Determination Tool
We are excited to announce that a new compensation structure and grading system will be released by the end of this calendar year!To bridge the current and new structures, we are making a temporary adjustment to Q3 and Q4 of each grade (Q1 and Q2 will remain the same). The salary ranges of Q3 and Q4 will be extended to lessen the frequency of required VP approvals for salaries in Q4 and above the grade.Please note that no additional funds will accompany this change. We encourage the departments to steadily continue with their existing compensation strategies.More information will be released throughout the year about the new compensation structure.
Use this tool to determine the range for a starting salary.
