FAQ
The app requires a license and is opt-in per tenant — an administrator enables it for your business from the Apps Marketplace, and it is disabled by default until then. Contact your MangoApps administrator about turning it on for your organization.
Each employee record holds compensation type (salary, hourly, commission, or contract), annual salary or hourly rate, pay frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually), and currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, or AUD). Salary and rate values are encrypted at rest.
A change can be submitted by an admin or, when enabled, by an employee. Each request records current and proposed values and routes to an approver who can approve, reject, or cancel it. Self-approval is blocked at the model level. Admins can override and apply a change immediately, and small increases can auto-approve within admin-set percentage and dollar thresholds. Each request has a single approver — there are no multi-level chains.
Yes, when your organization enables employee self-service requests. Employees submit a request with a justification, and a per-employee frequency limit (annual, semi-annual, or unlimited) prevents excessive submissions.
There is no formal merit-cycle or planning-worksheet module here. You run a review by importing a CSV of proposed changes or applying a bulk percentage/flat increase, both of which flow through the same approval workflow. Pay grades, comp-ratio, and market-data overlays give you the guardrails for those decisions.
An admin uploads a CSV (up to 10 MB). The system validates it, creates a change request for each row, and routes them through the configured approval workflow. Increases that fall within the admin-set percentage and dollar thresholds can auto-approve; the rest wait for review.
Pay grades define minimum, midpoint, and maximum bands. Assigning an employee to a grade surfaces their comp-ratio (salary ÷ midpoint), range penetration, and quartile placement. An optional market-data overlay (market min/mid/max with location and effective date) lets you compare against benchmarks. Grade assignment is manual — done individually or in bulk.
The My Compensation page shows recent paychecks and year-to-date totals when the Payroll Connect app is enabled, and the total-compensation statement adds employer benefit value when Benefits Management is active.
Opening any pay page requires a step-up re-verification, and every view is written to an audit log. Managers see team compensation only when policy allows, at a configurable fidelity (full amounts, ranges only, or hidden). Admins can also set a session timeout for compensation views and toggle mobile access and CSV export per business policy.
