Common use of External Comparability Clause in Contracts

External Comparability. The prime guiding principle is that AECL’s compensation systems will be externally competitive so that the Company is able to attract and retain the necessary qualified people. Competitive is defined as within 3% of the relevant labour market, that is, where the Company recruits similar skills from and where employees who terminate go. For the CSE compensation system this was reflected by the comparison of the CSE 4 salary with the salary paid to level D engineers as reported by XXX.
