ADD International reward policy & salary scales 

With a specific focus on internal equity, transparency, and fairness, ADD International makes a commitment to pay a liveable wage within each of our registered locations, ensuring reward is affordable and sustainable for the organisation.

ADD adopts a globally equitable approach based on purchasing power parity, rather than an approach which prioritises being in line with local labour markets in every location where ADD has employees.

Our aim is to create a global scale with one scale for staff in Africa/Asia and one for staff in Europe/UK/USA. Given we are moving from different places in the different countries we have staff, we will be moving to this global scale over three years.

Salary scales 

New staff in countries specified in the scales (where we currently have offices/staff) will be paid at the rate for the applicable country. Where your country of residence is not listed you will be paid based on the applicable USD rate for the region you are based. This will be converted and paid in local currency.

New recruits will normally start at the salary for the relevant grade for the location where they are based. We do not negotiate on starting salaries. 

We do not distinguish between global and country-specific roles (and tend not to recruit expats) but instead pay a salary that is fair for the grade of each role. We are committed to paying a living wage to staff in each country we work in and where data is available we ensure our minimum salaries reflect this.

You can view our scales below. The grade for each role is shown in the job description of the relevant advert. The rate shown is the gross annual salary for each grade.
