 The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this

 4.    Dividend Equivalents. 
 (a)    If on any date the Company shall pay any dividend on shares of Stock of the Company, the number of Restricted Stock Units
credited to the Grantee shall, as of such date, be increased by an amount determined by the following formula: 
 W = (X
multiplied by Y) divided by Z, where: 
 W = the number of additional Restricted Stock Units to be credited to the Grantee on
such dividend payment date; 
 X = the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units (whether vested or unvested) credited to the
Grantee as of the record date of the dividend; 
 Y = the cash dividend per share amount; and 
 Z = the Fair Market Value per share of Stock (as determined under the Plan) on the dividend payment date. 
 (b)    In the case of a dividend paid on Stock in the form of Stock, including without limitation a distribution of Stock by reason
of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have been awarded to the
Grantee through the related dividend record date, and (ii) the number of shares of Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as dividend on one share of Stock. Any additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the vesting and
restrictions of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement to which they relate remain subject to such vesting and restrictions, and shall be promptly forfeited to the Company
if and when such Restricted Stock Units are so forfeited. 
 5.    Receipt of Shares of Stock. As soon as
practicable following each Vesting Date, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a certificate representing the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee that have vested pursuant to
Paragraph 3 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares, including voting and dividend rights, and such shares of Stock shall not be restricted by
the provisions hereof. 
 6.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this
Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the
Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

 7.    Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is
non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 8.    Tax Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory
to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Subject to prior approval by the Company, the Grantee may elect to have the required minimum tax withholding
obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued 
 9.    No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee in employment and neither the Plan nor this
Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time. 
 10.    Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in

 3Salary.Com, Inc. Employment Offer Letter

 Exhibit 10.17 
 April 1, 2008 
 Mr. Bryce Chicoyne 
 Home
Address 
 City, State, Zip 
  

	Re:	Salary.com Employment Offer Letter 

 Dear Bryce: 
 I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Salary.com, Inc (“Salary.com” or the “Company”). You
will report directly to Kent Plunkett, Salary.com’s Chief Executive Officer. 
  

	 	1.	We request that you start your employment with the Company on or about May 1, 2008 or such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by you and us. 

  

	 	2.	Your overall annual total compensation package for expected performance should total three hundred fifty two thousand five hundred dollars ($352,500.00) per year. This will consist
of an annual base salary of two hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars ($235,000.00), and a variable incentive component target of fifty percent (50%) of base salary. Incentive compensation rewards will be based on your individual and team
performance, as well as the Company’s satisfactory performance against goals and objectives. 

  

	 	3.	Your job responsibilities, performance requirements, base and incentive compensation, and bonus eligibility are subject to change from time to time at the discretion of
Salary.com’s Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors, provided that they do not violate Section 12 of this letter. 

  

	 	4.	You will be granted 100,000 shares of Salary.com restricted common stock in accordance with the stock grant procedure and plan in effect as of the commencement of your employment
with the Company. These shares will be subject to our standard employee restricted stock vesting schedule. One sixth of your grant will vest every six months, beginning on or about the 6-month anniversary of your employment with
Salary.com, over a 36 month period. You will also be eligible for consideration for future employee equity grants, including a pro-rated annual refresher stock grant in accordance with Company policies and procedures.

 

	 	5.	You will also be granted a start-up grant of 20,000 shares of Salary.com restricted stock, which will vest on or about the 12-month anniversary of your employment with Salary.com.

	 	6.	Salary.com’s 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) includes a provision triggering accelerated vesting of all restricted stock grants in the event of
a transaction involving a sale of control of the Company or all or substantially all of its assets. Your restricted stock grants will carry this protection. 

  

	 	7.	You will receive benefits afforded to all full-time Salary.com employees, at rates comparable to those offered other employees. In the case of insurance programs, your participation
is subject to your insurability. 

  

	 	8.	Salary.com agrees to provide you with twenty (20) paid vacation days, two (2) paid personal days, and five (5) paid sick days each calendar year.

  

	 	9.	Simultaneous with your acceptance of this employment offer, you must acknowledge your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the Company’s Employee Non-Competition,
Nondisclosure & Development Agreement and the Salary.com Non-Disclosure Agreement. 

  

	 	10.	Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company will be entitled to terminate your employment at any time and for any reason,
with or without cause. Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer letter. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may
change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment can be changed only in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. 

  

	 	11.	If your employment is terminated by the Company other than for “cause” (as defined below) or by you for “Good Reason” as herein defined, the Company will
immediately issue to you shares of the Company’s common stock (in the form of restricted stock) with a value equal to (a) one year of your then current base salary plus (b) one year of your target bonus, based on the average closing
price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days preceding the grant date. Such restricted stock shall be fully vested on your termination date. If the Company’s trading window is closed on your termination date and will not
open during the two-week period following your termination date, you may elect to satisfy your required tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of restricted stock issued to you a
number of shares with an aggregate fair market value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the required withholding amount due. Accordingly, the Company would then make all applicable payments for the required holding
obligations. “Cause” shall mean: (A) conduct by you constituting negligence or misconduct in connection with the performance of your duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company;
(B) your commission of any felony or a misdemeanor involving deceit, dishonesty or fraud, or any conduct by you that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury to the Company; (C) non-performance by you of your duties
hereunder (other than by reason of your physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) which has continued for more than thirty (30) days following written notice of such non-performance from the Chief Executive Officer; (D) your
violation of the Company’s policies and procedures which has continued following written notice of such non-performance from the Chief Executive Officer; or (E) failure to cooperate in any reasonable respect with an internal investigation
or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities. Any termination by the Company of your employment under this letter which does not constitute a termination for Cause or result from your death or disability shall be deemed a
termination other than for Cause. For purposes of this Section 11, the term “Company” shall include all of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates and any successor to the Company’s business. 

  

 2 

	 	12.	At any time during the period of your employment with the Company, you may terminate your employment hereunder for any reason, including but not limited to Good Reason. For purposes
of this letter, “Good Reason” shall mean that you have complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) any removal, during the period of employment,
from your title of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; (B) an involuntary reduction in your base salary except for across-the-board reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all management employees; or (C) the
failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the Company, including but not limited to as a result of a change in control, to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this letter. “Good Reason
Process” shall mean that (i) you reasonably determine in good faith that a “Good Reason” event has occurred; (ii) you notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason event; (iii) you cooperate in good
faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than ninety (90) days following such notice, to modify your employment situation in a manner acceptable to you and the Company; and (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, one or more
of the Good Reason events continues to exist and has not been modified in a manner acceptable to you. If the Company cures the Good Reason event in a manner acceptable to your during the ninety (90) day period, Good Reason shall be deemed not
to have occurred. 

  

	 	13.	After this letter has been signed by both you and the Company, if the Company does not hire you in accordance with the terms hereof for reasons other than (i) your breach of
this letter; (ii) any action by you which would constitute “Cause” for termination as defined in Section 11 above; or (iii) force majeure, then the Company shall pay you three hundred fifty two thousand five hundred dollars
($352,500.00) in cash within thirty (30) days after receipt of your written demand for such payment. 

  

	 	14.	By signing your signature below and accepting employment with Salary.com, you affirm that you are not now a party to any agreement (including, without limitation, any
non-competition, confidentiality, or nondisclosure agreement) with any third party that is inconsistent with your employment at Salary.com and/or the duties and responsibilities described herein. By accepting employment with the Company, you agree
not to share with the Company or any of its employees, officers, directors, agents and/or advisors any confidential or proprietary information received by you from any third party. 

  

	 	15.	This letter, along with the Company’s Employee Non-Competition, Nondisclosure & Development Agreement and the Salary.com Non-Disclosure Agreement described above and
any equity agreements issued to you, sets forth the terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. This letter may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement
signed by you and an authorized officer of the Company. In addition to any other remedies available to it, the Company will have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent any violation of this agreement. This letter will be
governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to choice of law provisions. The failure of either party to exercise any right or the waiver by either party of any breach will not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right
or be deemed a waiver of any later breach of the same or any other term of this letter. If any provision of this letter is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision will only be modified to the extent required to be enforceable
under applicable law.

the growth of our company. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance to you. We look forward to working with you.
