PRESIDENT’S HIGH ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The President’s High Achievement Award recognizes top performers across the corporation for their individual
extraordinary efforts and contributions over a sustained period of time. Each division head may nominate
associates for this award, and final selection is made by the President and CEO.
DIVISIONAL INCENTIVE PLANS
Some divisions, such as Sales, have incentive plans specific to their associates and their performance. Details on these
and other incentive programs for which you may be eligible will be provided to you as appropriate.
Annual Salary Increase Consideration
ICMA‑RC’s salary program has been designed to recognize and reward performance. Salary increase
consideration is primarily determined by the job performance during the current performance period, the
merit budget pool, and/or the marketplace influence.
If you are at the upper limit of the salary range for your position, your salary is capped and a base salary
increase will not be given until the range is adjusted. Salary ranges are adjusted periodically to keep them
competitive with similar positions in the marketplace. If you have any questions about your current salary
within a specific position range, you should contact your supervisor or Human Resources.
Position Changes
Over time, your position at ICMA‑RC could change as a result of a promotion, transfer, or reevaluation of
your job. If a position is reevaluated to recognize significant changes in job responsibilities, it may be assigned
a new salary range. If the position is reclassified to a new salary grade level, the incumbent’s salary may be
adjusted. This is often referred to as an “upgrade.” The salary will be adjusted to at least the minimum of the
new grade level and may be adjusted to a level above the minimum.
Appeals Process
If you believe you have been treated unfairly in the compensation program, you may file an appeal. (See the
“Problem Solving and Formal Appeals Process” section on .)
