To determine the competitive market pay of each position, we start with a job description that
defines the key duties, responsibilities, and qualifications required to perform the job. We
then use external compensation surveys to determine the pay grade for each position.
Each pay grade corresponds to a pay range consisting of a minimum, midpoint and maximum
pay rate. The midpoint best approximates the competitive market pay for positions in that pay
grade. Pay ranges are reviewed annually and adjusted when necessary.
Actual pay should generally not be below range minimum or above range maximum. We do
have an annual pay review process, generally in October for corporate management & staff, and in
December for field leadership and restaurant management positions. Your leader considers several
factors when determining your base pay including your individual performance, time in position,
and pay relative to the pay range.
You can get a copy of your job description from your leader. Your pay grade can be found
in MyUltiStuff > MySelf tab > Compensation > Jobs.

the results, the higher the cash incentive payouts.

fiscal year goals.
Employees in Director level positions and above typically receive an annual grant of Restricted
Stock Units (RSUs) in November or December. At times, the Company may elect to award grants
below the Director level.
The monetary value of the RSU award at grant varies by position level. RSU awards vest
over a three-year period from the grant date.
Awards are subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and to the terms and
provisions of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Unit Award
Agreement.
New Grants:
The first time you receive an award, an E*Trade account will be established on your behalf
and you will be required to activate your account. Additionally, each time you receive a grant
you will need to accept the terms of the award agreement within your Employee Stock Plan
Account.
Award Vesting:
When an award vests, you will receive shares of Jack in the Box Inc. common stock. The
income and required tax withholdings related to the transaction will be reported on your W2 as
income and taxes withheld.

miles traveled.

program requirements (refer to the Motus Driver Brochure).
Motus (the program administrator) calculates fair and accurate reimbursement rates for the
business use of your personal vehicle; rates vary based on costs and other considerations of
your specific geographic location.
