Smart Compensation Decisions, Backed By Data
Manual spreadsheets and opaque pay changes erode trust. Compensation Management gives HR a governed system for salary and hourly records, pay grades, employee change requests, bulk adjustments, CSV imports, total-compensation statements, and audit trails — connected to payroll, benefits, performance, and skills context.
What Compensation Management Helps You Do
Manage Salary And Hourly Records
Track annual salary, hourly rate, pay frequency, currency, compensation type, and pay history for salaried, hourly, and contract employees.
Standardize Pay Grades
Define min, midpoint, max, market range, job family, and level. Use comp-ratio, range penetration, and quartile views to keep decisions consistent.
Run Approval Workflows
Route individual or imported compensation change requests to a manager or admin approver. Admins can approve, reject, cancel, batch approve, or apply an override.
Import And Adjust In Bulk
Upload CSV changes, select employees by filter, apply flat-rate or percentage adjustments, and send the resulting changes through the configured approval policy.
Manage Pay History
Per-employee compensation history with type breakdown (base, bonus, equity), effective dates, and reason codes.
Export For Audit
Export the compensation roster to CSV and review a full audit trail showing who changed what, why, and when each change became effective.
Is Your Compensation Process Holding You Back?
Spreadsheet Chaos
Merit planning in Excel leads to version confusion, data errors, and hours wasted reconciling changes across departments.
Opaque Pay Decisions
When employees can't see how pay decisions are made, distrust grows — leading to disengagement and unwanted turnover.
Weak Pay-Band Governance
Without shared pay grades and range views, teams make one-off decisions that are hard to explain and harder to audit later.
Audit Blind Spots
If the reason, approver, effective date, and previous value are not captured, compensation reviews become a reconstruction exercise.
Compensation Management In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Manage salary and hourly rate data with support for multiple compensation types, pay frequencies, and currencies.
Controls that matter
Approval Workflow includes Per-request approval routing to manager or admin and Approve, reject, or cancel individual requests.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: CSV import file size limit: 10 MB; Accepted import format: CSV only; Roster page size (admin index): 25 per page.
Annual salary review cycle
An admin imports a CSV of proposed salary adjustments for the upcoming review period and the system creates individual approval requests routed to each employee's manager.
Employee-initiated raise request
An employee submits a compensation change request with a justification, which is routed to their manager for review and can be approved, rejected, or cancelled.
Bulk compensation adjustment
An admin selects multiple employees from the compensation roster and applies a percentage or flat-rate pay increase with a single bulk operation that respects approval policies.

Yes. Admins can run annual reviews, mid-year corrections, promotion changes, and off-cycle adjustments by using CSV import, bulk adjustment tools, or individual change requests.
HR defines grade ranges with min, midpoint, max, market range, job family, and level. Employee assignments then show comp-ratio, range penetration, and quartile position inside the grade.
Each compensation change request routes to a manager or admin approver. Approvers can approve, reject, or cancel individual requests; admins can also override and apply changes immediately.
Payroll Connect can show recent paychecks and year-to-date totals inside My Compensation. Total compensation statements can also include benefits data when Benefits Management is enabled.
