Use cases

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.

Pay grade standardization

HR creates pay grade levels with minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary ranges then assigns each employee to the appropriate grade to ensure consistent pay bands.

Compensation audit and reporting

An admin reviews the audit trail of all compensation changes filtered by date range, employee, or change type to prepare for a compliance review.

Manager approval queue

A manager opens their pending approvals queue, reviews compensation change requests with current-vs-proposed comparisons, and bulk-approves routine adjustments.

FAQ

The system tracks annual salary, hourly rate, compensation type (salaried or hourly), pay frequency (weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly), and currency for each employee.

Compensation changes can be submitted by admins or employees. Each request records current and proposed values, routes to an approver, and supports approve, reject, or cancel actions. Admins can also override approval and apply changes immediately.

Yes, when enabled by policy. Employees can submit requests with justifications. Configurable frequency limits (annual, semi-annual) prevent excessive submissions.

Admins upload a CSV file (up to 10 MB) with proposed changes. The system validates the file, creates approval requests for each row, and routes them through the configured approval workflow. Auto-approve rules can be applied for small adjustments.

The My Compensation view shows recent paychecks and year-to-date totals when the Payroll app is enabled. Total compensation calculations also include benefits data when the Benefits Management app is active.
