Compensation Tools
Presidio Pay's Compensation Tools are intended to be useful tools for conducting compensation analysis and identifying potential compensation issues in your company or organization.
|
Salary GPS
Presidio Pay Advisors' Salary Grade Positioning System (Salary GPS) is a diagnostic tool for companies to analyze employee pay levels within their salary structure. Salary GPS is particularly helpful as preparations begin for year-end performance evaluations, merit increases, and next fiscal year budget planning. The tool is designed to convert your salary ranges to “thirds” – lower, middle, and upper – with each third representing the desired salary positioning for certain types of employees. Simply plug in your company’s salary structure and employee data and the model will output a report on the salary grade positioning for each incumbent.
|
Merit Manager
Presidio Pay Advisors' Merit Manager model is a salary management and diagnostic tool that helps companies determine where budget dollars are best spent. The Merit Manager can help with:
• Developing merit increase budgets
• Allocating budget dollars across functional areas or job families
• Modeling the impact of individual merit increase decisions
• Identifying acceptable trade-offs for constrained budgets
• Assessing a company’s salary management patterns
