01What Is the Salary Review Checklist?
The Salary Review Checklist covers the periodic process of assessing and adjusting employee pay. It walks HR and managers through gathering performance data, comparing salaries to market rates and internal ranges, applying the raise budget, and communicating changes. It ensures each person's pay is reviewed against clear criteria rather than left to stagnate or move on gut feel, keeping salaries fair and competitive.
02Why Use a Salary Review Checklist
Salaries drift out of line quietly: strong performers get underpaid, the market moves, and people leave for a raise you could have matched. A structured review catches this before it costs you talent. The checklist ties adjustments to performance and market data, keeps decisions consistent across managers, and helps you spend the raise budget where it has the most impact, all while creating a record you can defend.
03How to Use This Salary Review Checklist
Run it on a set cycle, gathering performance results and current pay for each employee first. Compare every salary to its market benchmark and internal range to spot who is below, within, or above band. Apply the budget using clear criteria, check the outcomes for equity, and prepare a clear message for each person. Deliver changes promptly and explain the reasoning behind them.
