Annual Compensation Review
What you need to know
Sandia’s annual compensation review for non-represented employees takes place after year-end performance management reviews.
Managers review incentive compensation recommendations and may modify as needed.
Recommendations and final increases and awards must fit within the annual salary budget guidelines from the Department of Energy (DOE).
About the Annual Compensation Review Cycle
Each year, Sandia’s Compensation team analyzes external market data and internal employee pay across jobs to develop the annual Compensation Increase Plan (CIP) proposal, which is submitted to National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) for approval. The CIP establishes the budget available for annual base salary increases and incentive compensation – delivered through the Sandia Performance Incentive Plan (SPIP) and Management Incentive Plan (MIP).
