Frequently Asked Questions
Compensation planning software for manufacturing and industrial companies manages pay across plant, field, and corporate employees in one platform, replacing the Excel workflows and ADP workarounds most manufacturing HR teams use to handle union rules, multi-site operations, and complex incentive structures today.
Aeqium lets you configure union minimum increase rates and CBA-driven eligibility logic directly into your comp cycles. The system automatically applies the maximum of the union minimum and the calculated increase per employee, replicating what most teams currently manage manually in Excel, without IT involvement or support tickets.
Yes. Aeqium supports multiple employee populations with separate comp structures, approval chains, and band hierarchies in a single cycle. Plant operators, field technicians, and corporate staff can all be planned together with entirely different logic applied per group.
Aeqium supports multi-currency planning with configurable conversion logic. Global manufacturers running cycles across multiple countries can consolidate compensation planning in one system, report in a single currency at the executive level, and deliver employee statements in local currency, without manual reconciliation.
Yes. Aeqium integrates with ADP, SAP, Workday, and other ERP and HRIS platforms common in manufacturing. Most teams use Aeqium as the planning layer on top of their existing payroll system, eliminating the Excel workarounds ADP and SAP require for complex comp logic.
Aeqium surfaces pay equity gaps across plant locations, job classifications, and demographic groups in real time. HR and compliance teams get the data to address disparities proactively rather than during audits, union negotiations, or pay transparency reviews.
Aeqium natively supports mixed workforces. Hourly employees display compensation at the hourly rate while salaried employees show annual figures, all within the same cycle and total rewards statements, with no custom logic required.
Most manufacturing teams are live within weeks. Technical implementation takes a few hours and onboarding, including configuring union rules, multi-site band structures, and approval workflows, typically completes in four to six weeks regardless of workforce complexity.
