Compensation

CA Technologies philosophy of compensation is to provide our employees with a compensation program that is market-focused, well-balanced and performance-based and provides incentives to deliver appropriately on both annual and long-term results. The objectives of the compensation program are to:

  • align it with our business strategy and make it performance-based
  • establish and maintain pay levels based upon a proper and equitable evaluation of the job, work performance and compensation paid within the marketplace
  • attract and retain talented employees whose effort and judgment are vital to the continued success of the company
  • achieve a balance between global consistency and local flexibility

Global Job Architecture

In 2008, CA Technologies undertook a significant effort to strategically align its job structure, job descriptions and job titles worldwide. The objectives of the project were to:

  • address employee survey feedback regarding existing CA Technologies job structures and to increase clarity, transparency and fairness in individual career planning
  • increase flexibility, productivity and accountability at CA Technologies through role clarity and definition
  • align CA Technologies roles and positions with well-established industry and marketplace standards
  • provide more direct and evident comparisons of internal jobs to external salary and compensation standards and benchmarks to increase fairness and objectivity

We also established the decision-making steps to govern and sustain this Global Job Architecture. The governance process was designed to provide a consistent, structured, fair and transparent method for any alterations to the CA Technologies Global Job Architecture.
