NEEDHAM, Mass. – February 22, 2010 – Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY), a leading provider of on-demand talent management, payroll, and compensation solutions, today announced that Kent Plunkett has announced his resignation as chief executive officer, effective immediately. Mr. Plunkett will continue to serve as chairman of the board. Salary.com also announced that its board of directors has appointed Paul R. Daoust as interim chief executive officer while it conducts a formal search for a permanent chief executive officer.

Kent Plunkett stated, “I am incredibly proud of what the people who built Salary.com have achieved since we founded the company over 10 years ago. Salary.com is recognized as the global leader in compensation management data and software, and our emerging suite of SaaS-based human capital management solutions is in a strong competitive position. We have recorded 35 consecutive quarters of revenue growth and I remain optimistic about the company’s long term growth potential.” Plunkett added, “It is time for me to step aside and provide the opportunity for fresh leadership to serve Salary.com’s amazing customers and employees. I am highly confident in Paul’s leadership of the company’s executive transition plan and believe that Salary.com has a very strong foundation for our next chief executive to grow the company to the next level.”

Paul Daoust is a recognized leader in the human resources industry with over forty years of operating experience, and he has been a member of the Salary.com board of directors since 2006. Daoust previously spent 28 years with Watson Wyatt Worldwide, one of the world’s largest human resource consulting firms. For five of those years, Daoust served as chief operating officer and contributed to the doubling of Watson Wyatt’s revenue and a tripling of its profits. After his career at Watson Wyatt, Daoust served as chief executive officer of HighRoads, Inc., a privately-held, technology-enabled solutions company providing benefits lifecycle management. After four years as chief executive officer, Daoust transitioned to non-executive chairman in 2005 and he continues to serve HighRoads in that role. Daoust also currently serves on various boards in the human capital industry.

Robert Trevisani, Salary.com’s lead director stated, “The board of directors would like to thank Kent for his lifetime worth of contributions to Salary.com. His passion and dedication have helped the company evolve into a market leader in on-demand Human Resource solutions. The Board is confident that with Paul joining as interim chief executive officer, Salary.com has the leadership in place that will enable the company to continue prospering while it searches for its next permanent chief executive officer.”
