Salaries vary within Lexmark, as they do in all companies, depending upon the location of employment, education level, job function and a number of other factors. Lexmark is committed to equal pay for work of equal value. This commitment includes equal remuneration for male and female workers. In support of this commitment, we contract with third-party agencies to conduct remuneration studies and we conduct other studies internally. For example, in the United States, an annual analysis is done by a third-party entity to ensure pay equity based on demographics. Actions taken in response to these analyses, including promotion of educational and career advancement opportunities and salary adjustments, help Lexmark uphold its commitment to equal pay for equal work.
