compensation-and-leveling skillA
compensation-and-leveling is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Builds and maintains the leveling framework and pay structure — level definitions, salary bands, benchmarking, pay equity, and how raises and promotions are decided. Use this to design or revise leveling, set or adjust salary bands, benchmark against market, handle a compensation request or counteroffer, run a review cycle, or diagnose pay compression and equity issues..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Compensation and leveling > Compensation touches employment law, pay transparency requirements, and equal pay obligations that > vary by jurisdiction. Structural work here is fine; specific decisions about individuals should be > reviewed by qualified counsel or an HR professional. ## Leveling first Pay structure without a leveling framework produces negotiated salaries, and negotiated salaries produce inequity that correlates with who negotiates hardest. Define each level by **scope and impact**, not tenure or task list: - What ambiguity can they handle — a defined task, a defined problem, an undefined problem, a problem nobody has identified? - What is the blast radius of their decisions — their work, their team, the function, the company? - What do they do for others: execute, contribute, guide, or set direction? Levels must be distinguishable in a sentence. If two adjacent levels cannot be told apart by someone who does not know the people in them, they are one level. ## Bands For each level, benchmark against a market defined by the roles you actually compete with for candidates — not the whole industry, and not aspirational peers. …
