Fair pay, transparent reviews
Run pay reviews without spreadsheets, benchmark salaries against the market, manage benefits administration, and give every employee a total reward statement they can actually understand.
Sound familiar?
Pay-review spreadsheets
Every year, a giant locked-down Excel goes round managers. Versions get mixed up. Numbers don't tie out to payroll.
Benchmarking guesswork
You set salaries based on what feels right or what the last hire negotiated. No grounding in market data.
Hidden benefits
Employees don't realise the full value of their package. Pension, healthcare, perks — invisible on a payslip.
No audit trail
Equal-pay claim arrives, and there's no record of how decisions were made. Compliance risk and headaches.
Pay management that's structured, transparent, and auditable
HeimdallHR's compensation module replaces the annual pay-review spreadsheet with a guided workflow. Managers propose, HR calibrates, leadership approves — with budget guardrails, benchmark context, and a full audit trail. Total reward statements show employees the real value of their package, broken down to the penny.
Everything you need
Structured pay reviews
Run review cycles with budget guardrails. Managers propose increases, HR calibrates across teams, leadership approves.
Salary benchmarking
See where each role sits versus market median for the UK. Spot underpaid roles before they become resignations.
Benefits administration
Manage pension, healthcare, life cover, and flexible benefits in one place. Track enrolments, costs, and changes.
Total reward statements
Personalised statements showing every component of the package — salary, pension match, benefits, equity. Auto-generated annually.
Budget modelling
Model the cost of merit increases, promotions, and cost-of-living adjustments before approving the cycle.
Full audit trail
Every proposal, override, and approval recorded with timestamps. Essential for equal-pay reviews and pay-gap reporting.
How it works
Set budget
Finance sets the merit pool. Allocate per team or leave open.
Managers propose
Each manager proposes increases with market and performance context.
HR calibrates
HR reviews across teams to ensure fairness. Suggests adjustments.
Approve & pay
Leadership approves. Changes flow to employee records and payroll.
The impact
Fairer outcomes
Calibration across teams reduces unconscious bias and inconsistent decisions.
Transparent communication
Employees see what they earn and why — better retention, fewer pay queries.
Compliance ready
Audit trail and pay-gap reporting built in. Equal-pay claims are easier to defend.
Faster cycles
Pay review wraps in days, not the usual painful months of spreadsheet wrangling.
