Compensation Planning empowers leaders to build an effective compensation strategy that drives recruiting and retention.

There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy to manage compensation. Employees have unique motivators, so you need to build an effective strategy that supports your entire workforce. The problem is, most leaders don’t have the technology so they rely on multiple spreadsheets. In fact, only 35% of organizations are using a unified system.

Paycor Compensation Planning removes the burden and complexity of handing administration and recordkeeping by hand, thus giving leaders more time to focus on rewarding and retaining employees. If you have additional questions, or for more information on Compensation Planning, contact [email protected].

Retain & Motivate Your Workforce with an Effective Compensation Strategy

Automate Compensation Events
Compensation Planning automates workflows, creates approver and event notifications and offers robust collaboration tools to enhance the user experience and meet your needs. Admins can automatically generate employee notification letters directly from the tool.

Flexibility to Meet Your Needs
Effective compensation strategies directly impact how you retain great people and hire top talent. But if you’re forced to work within rigid systems or even worse, tied up in manual work, you’ll struggle to create the best plans for your organization. We built Compensation Planning to offer you a seamless user experience, every step of the way. From automating workflows and creating notifications to offering robust collaboration tools, you have the ultimate flexibility to meet your unique needs.

Protect Your Organization
Closely monitoring pay practices isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s essential to ensure compliance. Compensation Planning offers a direct line of sight into your pay practices, allowing you to monitor pay equity and analyze compensation across your workforce.

Take Planning to the Next Level
With many types of awards and pay options, HR leaders need full visibility into how merit increases or bonuses impact the overall compensation strategy. Compensation Planning allows you to create “what-if” scenarios and see calculations before committing to actual figures and view compa-ratios for each employee.

Take Action with New Insights
To make informed decisions, you and your managers need access to the right data at the right time. Compensation Planning and Analytics allow you to drill down into specific roles, departments or locations across your organization so you can have more productive conversations with your managers about merit increases and bonuses.
