Topline Pro Pay Transparency Philosophy

At Topline Pro, we believe that transparency around compensation is fundamental to building a fair, inclusive, and high-trust workplace. Our approach to pay is grounded in the principles of clarity, consistency, and equity.

We provide clear salary ranges in all job postings and base compensation decisions on objective criteria such as role scope, relevant experience, and performance.

Our compensation structure is regularly reviewed to ensure it aligns with market trends and internal equity. While we comply fully with pay transparency laws in Massachusetts, New York, and any other jurisdictions in which we operate, our commitment goes beyond compliance—we see openness around pay as a reflection of how we value our people and the work they do.
