Salary Progression Trigger
A salary progression trigger is a defined event or condition that moves an employee to a higher point within a compensation band.
"I need a clear, fair reason to increase someone's pay that hiring and people teams can apply consistently."
A trigger is a specific, documented criterion — like a promotion, completion of a certification, or a market rebenchmark — that automatically or semi-automatically advances an employee along the salary band. It ensures pay movement is transparent, predictable, and defensible.
