Salary Benchmarking for Connected Persons and Executives
A reliable salary benchmark in Dubai helps businesses assess whether salaries, bonuses, allowances, and other remuneration reflect current market conditions. This is especially relevant for directors, executives, owners, and other Connected Persons.
Synergy360 provides salary benchmarking services based on role responsibilities, experience, industry, business size, and available market data. The aim is to establish a reasonable remuneration range supported by clear evidence.
What Is Salary Benchmarking?
Salary benchmarking compares remuneration for a specific role with relevant market data and comparable positions. It considers factors such as seniority, responsibilities, experience, industry, and company size.
A structured salary benchmark in Dubai gives management an objective reference for reviewing compensation and documenting how remuneration decisions were reached.
Why Salary Benchmarking Matters in the UAE
Support Arm’s Length Remuneration
Where payments involve Connected Persons, remuneration should have a clear commercial basis. Compensation benchmarking provides market evidence to support salaries, bonuses, allowances, and other benefits.
Strengthen Corporate Tax Documentation
A documented benchmark helps businesses explain how remuneration was assessed and supports consistency with wider business tax services and Corporate Tax records.
Support Executive Compensation Decisions
Executive compensation benchmarking helps management assess executive pay against relevant market information while considering the responsibilities and seniority of the role.
Reduce Review Risk
Clear benchmarking records provide supporting evidence if remuneration arrangements are reviewed, helping management respond with greater confidence.
Who May Need Salary Benchmarking?
Salary benchmarking may be relevant for directors, business owners, senior executives, key management personnel, and other Connected Persons.
It can also support businesses reviewing compensation after restructuring, role changes, promotions, or significant changes in responsibilities.
How Our Salary Benchmarking Process Works
Role and Responsibility Assessment
We review the position, responsibilities, experience, seniority, and decision-making authority to establish an appropriate basis for comparison.
Market Data and Comparable Selection
Our salary benchmarking data services in the UAE consider relevant market information, industry, company size, and comparable roles when assessing remuneration.
Compensation Analysis
We analyse the available data to establish a reasonable market range, considering relevant components of remuneration rather than relying only on job titles.
Benchmarking Documentation
The methodology, data sources, comparables, assumptions, and findings are presented in a clear compensation benchmarking report.
Salary Benchmarking Data and Commercial Databases
Depending on the engagement and data availability, commercial databases such as Bureau van Dijk Orbis, TP Catalyst, Amadeus, and S&P Capital IQ may support the benchmarking analysis.
The value of the analysis depends on how relevant comparables are selected. Search criteria, available data, and the reasons for selecting or excluding comparables should therefore be documented clearly.
UAE, Regional and Global Comparable Analysis
Where suitable data is available, UAE comparables should be considered first. If local information is limited, the analysis may be extended to the Middle East and then to wider international markets where appropriate.
This helps keep the benchmark relevant to the actual market in which the business operates.
What Your Salary Benchmarking Report Covers
A salary benchmarking report may include the role assessed, methodology, data sources, comparable positions, remuneration range, assumptions, and key findings.
The report gives management a clear record of how the benchmark was established and supports future remuneration decisions.
When Should Salary Benchmarking Be Updated?
A benchmark may need to be reviewed when responsibilities, remuneration structures, business operations, or market conditions change materially.
Periodic updates also help ensure that salary data continues to reflect the current role and business environment.
