Base Pay

Creating an environment to attract and retain top talent.

The foundation of CF Industries’ compensation framework is based on a holistic approach to engage you, our employees, by including all elements of compensation: salary, short-term and long-term incentives.

We leverage these elements to:

  • Attract and retain top talent
  • Provide fair and competitive wage
  • Recognize and reward exceptional performance
  • Maintain sustainability across business cycles

Base Pay

Base pay reflects an employee’s annual compensation at a specific point in time, and considers your specific knowledge, skills and abilities which align with your specific duties and responsibilities. Our base pay takes into consideration the relevant labor conditions and is targeted at the market median midpoint. Similar to how we evaluate your skills when determining your wage rate, CF annually evaluates our own pay scale and adjusts accordingly to remain fair and competitive.
