A salary review is when businesses check and adjust employee pay to make sure it’s fair, competitive, and within budget. It usually happens once a year to help keep employees happy, address pay gaps, and reward performance.

A good salary review spreadsheet helps you:

  • Standardize salary decisions across teams
  • Keep track of performance-based raises
  • Ensure pay is fair and consistent
  • Compare salaries to industry standards
  • Budget for raises ahead of time

How to run a smooth salary review

  • Compare with industry pay – Use salary surveys and reports to stay competitive.
  • Evaluate employee performance – Decide who deserves a raise and why.
