Compensation Planning Guide

Align pay with role scope

Compensation conversations are more productive after the organization has defined the role level, responsibilities and location. Compare the full package and employment arrangement, not only the headline number, and be clear about what has been approved.

Set expectations openly

Ask candidates about their expectations and current constraints respectfully. Explain the range or process where possible, and avoid making commitments that have not been approved. Final compensation and benefits should be documented in the employer’s offer and contract.

Key points to cover

Use these prompts to make the conversation specific to your role, team and timing:

  • ✓Define scope and level before benchmarking
  • ✓Consider location and work arrangement
  • ✓Discuss the full compensation structure clearly
Make the next step specific.

Share the relevant context, location and expected timing so the conversation can begin with a clear brief.
