Accenture Revises Salary Hike Structure to Include More Employees with Split Payments
Accenture has revised its salary hike structure by splitting increases equally between base pay and a one-time lump-sum payment to extend raises to more employees while managing payroll costs. Talent and group leads determine the total hike, which is then divided 50:50, except for promotions where increases remain fully in base pay. The lump sum is separate from the annual bonus and both components count toward FY26 bonus calculations, providing employees with immediate cash benefits without replacing standard bonuses.
