[Global] The Salary structure of Google employees will be revised

Google has announced changes to the employees’ salary structure to reward its top contributors, MSN reports.

In an email, Google Vice President John Casey stated that employees would have a chance to take home a better incentive based on their rating during annual reviews. 

The email read, “High performance is more important than ever to achieve the goals we have set.” The changes would be enforced during the 2026 compensation disbursal.

Google dramatically cut its workforce recently to “operate more efficiently”. The company had also imposed a stricter policy on the work from home policy, asking employees to adhere to it or lose their jobs.

The changes would reportedly be reflected in the Googler Reviews and Development (GRAD), a scale measuring the effectiveness of the company staff. Managers will now be allowed to give an employee the rating of “Outstanding impact”, which affects the compensation they receive. 

Previously, an average employee would get a rating of “Significant impact” on a scale from “not enough impact” to “transformative impact.” Managers responsible for assigning the “Outstanding impact” rating to an employee would be provided an increased discretionary budget.

The email, with the title line, “Strengthening our performance culture”, also stressed that the changes would be budget-neutral. Employees falling outside the “Significant Impact” category would receive a lesser bonus. 

“We want to be upfront that to fund this, we will be slightly reducing the bonus and equity individual multipliers for Significant Impact and Moderate Impact ratings,” the email read.
