Streamline Compensation Management with Real-Time Reporting

Imagine this: You’re deep into a compensation review cycle, and everything seems to be running smoothly—data compiled, managers engaged, and recommendations flowing.

Then, your CEO requests a mid-cycle report on compensation ratios, salary bands, budget allocations, and top performer pay trends. Traditionally, this would mean hours of spreadsheet work, consolidating data from multiple sources and manually ensuring accuracy.

But what if generating dynamic, real-time compensation reports was as simple as a few clicks?

Introducing Aeqium’s Custom Compensation Reporting and Analysis

Aeqium’s new compensation management software enables HR and finance teams to instantly generate custom reports, giving stakeholders real-time visibility into compensation planning, performance-based pay trends, and salary distributions—without the hassle of manual data manipulation.

With seamless integrations into your HR tech stack, Aeqium allows you to:

  • Analyze compensation trends across teams, locations, and performance levels.
  • Automate report generation to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Gain real-time insights into total compensation spend and budget allocation.

Key Data Sources for Compensation Reporting

Aeqium’s compensation management system pulls data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive view of your compensation cycle, including:

  • Compensation Data: Base salaries, bonuses, stock options, and equity grants.
  • Performance Data: Employee ratings, goal achievement, and performance reviews.
  • HRIS Data: Employee demographics, tenure, department, and job level.
  • Outcome Data: Live compensation adjustments and pending salary changes.

These insights help HR and finance teams make data-driven compensation decisions while ensuring fairness and transparency across the organization.
