• Benchmark: internal and external.
• Classic figures: experience, education, specific knowledge and expertise.
• Scarcity & market value.
• Role and responsibilities.
• Actual impact and contribution
• Someone's starting point

When can salaries go up

Every year the HR team will take a good look at all the salaries at Human and determine what roles go up for which people, again this takes into account a number of factors (see above).

We also review salaries outside of the standard yearly cycle, depending on individual success/project leadership, tenure or expertise changes.

Contract renewal is not a moment that automatically means it is time to talk about money. We are not a company of people who demand "give me X or I walk''.

People can bring up salary any moment they want and we take everybody seriously if they feel like their pay is too low (or too high) - see "How do we determine salaries"

Good reasons to raise salary change

• Drastic change in role and responsibilities
• Very steep learning curve which makes current pay unfair for someone's impact and capabilities. It's important to be able to quantify that curve
• New information internally or externally
