Solution · Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits linked straight to payroll
Pay structures, reviews and benefit plans connect to payroll, so an approved change becomes the next run's input.
Problems this solves
Pay changes re-keyed into payroll
Approved increases are typed in again, which invites errors.
Benefits administered separately
Enrolment and deductions live outside the pay system.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to calculate the new compa-ratio myself when proposing an increase?
No — Salary Planning, Salary Review, and Merit Increase all calculate the resulting salary and compa-ratio for you from the proposed percentage.
Are benefit claims tracked all the way to what was actually paid?
Yes — a claim tracks Eligible Amount, Approved Amount, Employer/Employee Share, and Settlement Amount separately, so you can see exactly what was approved versus paid.
Is tax calculation real, or a placeholder?
Real — computed from real tax slabs and regimes sourced from your active Country Packs, not a flat zero.
Can a finalized payroll run be edited after the fact?
It's locked. Reopening a locked period needs a real, time-boxed unlock approval — it isn't a plain status toggle anyone can flip.
