Watch out! A salary review IS NOT a performance review.

Performance and development are worked on throughout the year. Also, see Performance Review

🤓 Salary reviews happen as part of the Annual Review Cycle (Performance Review + Level Calibration). There are three ways for salaries to change:

• Annual Ravio market adjustment:

  Every year, compensation data is reviewed in Ravio and salaries are re-aligned against the current benchmark for each level + performance level. Even without a level or performance change, your salary moves with the market (subject to budget).

• Performance level jump:

  Through our Performance & Development Framework, you can jump Performance Levels based on your Performance Review (you don’t jump by default — typically every 1–2 years). Salary moves to the Ravio benchmark for the new performance level.

• Career level promotion:

  Following our Career Level Framework and the annual Level Calibration, you typically move up a level every 3 to 4 years. Salary moves to the Ravio benchmark for the new level.

Frozen ❄️ level or performance level. If the calibration and/or performance review assess someone below their current level or performance level, their level, performance level, and salary all freeze at the current standing — none of them decrease. The freeze lifts when they grow into the assessed level or performance level.

🛠️ So what does a salary review look like?

• People Ops reviews Performance Review reports from circle leads to confirm each team member's level and performance level.
• Based on that, salaries are aligned against current Ravio benchmarks.
• Outcomes (level, performance level, salary) are confirmed with circle leads before any communication to team members.
• Changes are applied effective the month following the cycle, and Circle Leads communicate to each team member directly.
• The latest outcomes for the whole team live in the **Team Transparency page.**
