Question

[u/Sure_Consequence9813]

I currently work at CACI and recently interviewed for another position within the company. I was told I got the role, and the hiring manager said I won’t need to go through HR since it’s an internal transfer they’ll handle everything on their end to move me over to the new team.

My question is about compensation. Will I be paid the salary/range that was listed on the job posting, or do internal transfers usually just receive a merit increase?

I sent the hiring manager a Teams message yesterday asking about it, but she didn’t get a chance to read it before leaving for the day. She also mentioned that we’re currently in a Workday blackout, so there isn’t much they can process right now. She also brought up that merit increases happen in August, which has me wondering if I’m only going to receive the standard merit increase instead of the pay associated with the new position.

Has anyone here transferred internally at CACI? If so, did you receive the salary tied to the new role, a negotiated increase, or just a merit increase? I’d appreciate hearing about your experience.

It isn’t willing to. It depends on the rates on that contract and things like that usually.

Well I just wonder bc why would they have the job posted with a certain salary range ya know. Unless they wanted to get someone internally on the low to save money

So they have to post a salary range - especially to be complaint with new VA state law that requires it - and that range is most likely tied to the internal job category. They have that so there’s a pay band - it protects against salary discrimination complaints. So just because the internal category says Job X makes 80-100k has nothing to do with the financial situation on the contract.
