Compensation management software

Know what every employee really costs

Record each person's pay as a package of components and see gross, net, and total cost of employment in every currency you pay in.

Compensation management software in Skailer: salary components with calculation settings
01Packages from components
Base salary, allowances, and employer contributions as lines.
02Total cost per person
Gross, net, and total cost of employment for every employee.
03Several currencies, one total
Each line keeps its currency; Skailer converts it for totals.
04Ranges on the job profile
Min and max gross sit on the profile positions already use.
The problem

Total cost per head lives in a spreadsheet

Finance asks for cost per department. Allowances sit in one sheet, employer contributions in a payroll export, and each entity pays in its own currency.

Compensation packages

Build each package from components so every allowance fits

Define components once, from base salary to employer pension contribution. Each has a kind and settings that decide which totals it counts toward. Every record starts on a date you choose and keeps a change reason.

01Three component kinds
payment, deduction, and employer contribution, from one company list
02Calculation settings
decide if a component counts toward gross, net, or company cost
03Effective-dated history
every record keeps its effective date, change reason, and author
04One-time payments
bonuses, commissions, and stipends tracked as additional pay

Total cost of employment

See gross, net, and total cost for every person

Gross counts the lines that belong in gross pay, net is what the employee receives, and total cost adds employer contributions. Lines in other currencies and periods are converted, and incomplete totals are flagged.

01Official and actual
net and total cost with and without off-payroll payments
02Off-payroll stays out
reports, exports, and integrations see only payroll-processed pay
03Period switch
hourly, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly on the profile
04Totals as list columns
add gross, net, or total cost of employment to the People list
Salary ranges

Keep salary ranges on the job profile, set once

A job profile ties a role to a track and a grade and carries a salary range: currency, min gross, and max gross. Positions read the range from the profile, so it's set once and shown wherever the position appears.

01Grades × tracks grid
each role's job profiles laid out by grade and track
02Range per profile
currency, min gross, and max gross on every job profile
03Range access on its own
a separate permission decides who sees the salary range
04Pay by job family
filter the Salary report by job role across its profiles

Access & approvals

Show each role only the pay figures it needs

Compensation lines and total cost of employment are separate permissions. With a role's scope, country HR sees its own entity and a manager sees team totals without the breakdown. Pay changes can go through approval.

01Separate permissions
compensation lines and total cost of employment, granted per role
02Scope by entity or line
a role's scope limits whose pay it reaches, such as one entity
03Requests with approval
a flow collects the request and writes the package once approved
04Pending rows on profile
a proposed record shows with a pending marker until approved
Salary report

Compare pay across teams and currencies

The Salary report adds up packages across the company. Switch between gross, net, and total cost, pick the reporting currency, and compare pay by department, location, or job profile with the previous period.

01Summary cards
total, headcount, average and median pay, with period change
02Reporting currency
convert overview values while the table keeps original amounts
03Last pay change
group people by how long ago their pay last changed
04Report permissions
separate rights for the report and for its cost view
