Your pay philosophy defines how your organisation approaches employee compensation. It reflects your company culture, values, and goals whilst helping to attract, retain, and motivate talent. The system uses your pay philosophy to generate recommended pay increases for each employee within your budget.

You can create your pay philosophy using two approaches:

  • Select a preset: Use a proven framework based on your data.

  • Start from scratch: Build a completely custom approach.
