Effectively managing base salary increases remains a complex challenge for HR professionals, managers, and executives. To ensure fair and strategic distribution of pay, organizations must implement a structured merit-based approach that rewards employee contributions and aligns with organizational goals. One of the most effective tools for achieving this is the Salary Increase Matrix—designed to help organizations equitably distribute base salary rewards while maintaining a traditional pay structure.

In this practical and insightful webinar, compensation expert John Rubino will guide participants through the critical components of establishing a merit pay system that supports both internal equity and external market competitiveness. He will break down the foundational elements of articulating a compensation strategy and philosophy, identifying key pay-action scenarios such as promotions, differentials, and cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). Most importantly, John will walk attendees through a step-by-step process for building a customized Merit-Based Salary Increase Matrix—one that can be implemented immediately and serves as a cornerstone of a pay-for-performance culture.

Your Benefits For Attending:
  • Learn how to clearly articulate a Compensation Strategy and Philosophy
  • Understand the core principles for developing an effective Merit Pay Program
  • Discover the key factors that influence the success of Merit Pay Programs
  • Explore the most impactful pay-action scenarios (promotions, differentials, COLAs, etc.) to ensure fair and competitive salary distribution
  • Gain a practical, step-by-step methodology for building a Merit-Based Salary Increase Matrix from scratch

This webinar offers essential guidance for HR professionals and leaders seeking to enhance fairness, transparency, and performance-driven compensation practices. By attending, you will be better equipped to implement pay strategies that reward high performers and align with your organization's compensation goals.
