Salary first
Check the age-specific qualifying salary for the employer’s sector and the relevant application or renewal date.
Then COMPASS
Unless exempt, assess the candidate’s salary and qualifications together with the employer’s workforce criteria. Confirm any bonus entitlement rather than assuming it.
