- 02
Make decisions within shared guardrails
Work with salary bands, budgets and proposals in a structured review process, with approvals built in.
- 03
Carry the change forward
Keep a history of what changed and when, and bring payroll data and payslips together for the next step.
Compensation & people cost
What is included
Pay decisions affect both people and budgets. Bring the perspectives together, make guardrails visible and keep a clear history as compensation changes.
01
See the full cost behind pay
Salary is only one part of people cost. Include employer contributions and benefits, and understand how different compensation elements affect cost per person and across the organisation.
- Employer contributions (31.42%) and special payroll tax on pensions (24.26%) included
- Support for collectively agreed pay supplements
02
Compare and model before deciding

Fair decisions with the right access
Review pay across comparable roles while keeping sensitive information controlled. Dedicated permissions help ensure access is limited to the people who need it.
