Temporary market adjustment
Last updated: March 28, 2019
Temporary market adjustments (TMAs) or recruitment and retention adjustments (RRAs) are used as a temporary solution to attract employees to occupations with skill shortages.
Once a shortage no longer exists, steps are taken to return positions back to their regular pay structure.
