Compensation Reviews & Cycles

Run a merit cycle that closes gaps instead of widening them.

Budgets, manager worksheets and data backed suggestions in one cycle, from draft to applied. Pay equity impact sits inside the review rather than in a separate project nobody has time for.

45 minutes. Walk a cycle from setup to approval.

Inside a cycle

Structure where most companies still use a spreadsheet.

Cycle lifecycle

Draft, active, closed, approved, applied

Run organisation wide cycles with a clear state at every point. Eligibility rules are built with a condition builder and previewed before launch, so you see exactly who qualifies before anyone gets an email.

  • A defined state from draft through to applied
  • Eligibility rules with a preview of who qualifies
  • Progress tracking and cycle analytics throughout

Budgets

Budgets managers can actually work with

Set monetary or percentage budgets and track consumption in real time. Managers can release budget they will not use, or request more, with admin approval. No reconciliation spreadsheet at the end.

  • Monetary or percentage budgets, tracked live
  • Managers release unused budget or request more
  • Budget consumption visible as the cycle runs
See budget management
Suggestions

Four signals behind every suggestion

Each employee suggestion combines pay equity gap reduction, compa ratio positioning, merit rule compliance and a machine learning prediction. Managers get a defensible starting point instead of a blank cell.

  • Equity impact, compa ratio, merit rules and prediction combined
  • Managers see only their own direct reports
  • Admins can lock individual reviews when needed

Pay equity in the cycle

Close unexplained gaps as normal business

Allocate part of the budget specifically toward reducing unexplained gaps, and see the fairness impact of a decision at the moment it is made. This is what turns a review from an administrative exercise into the mechanism that closes gaps.

  • Budget directed at unexplained gaps, inside the normal cycle
  • Fairness impact visible while the decision is being made
  • Ad hoc reviews for promotions and market adjustments too

Common questions about compensation cycles

An organisation wide compensation review with a defined lifecycle: draft, active, closed, approved and applied. You set eligibility and budget, managers propose changes for their direct reports, and approvals are tracked to the point where changes are applied.
