Two Outputs · One Employee

The salary review report informs.
The Excel executes.

The same employee appears in both outputs. The PDF gives the CHRO the salary review picture. The Excel gives the HR Manager the instrument. Neither is useful without the other.

The Salary Review Intelligence Layer

7 dimensions.
Inferred from your data.

The client does not configure weights for the salary review. The data reveals the company's structural reality. Blank Tab 1 = full inference. No guesswork on your end.

ATenure signal
Retention Risk
Average tenure across headcount. If >50% below midpoint, amplified +1. Underpaying creates flight risk — critical for salary review prioritisation.
Weight
4 / 5
BPyramid ratio
Growth Readiness
Ratio of L1+L2 vs L3+L4 headcount. Amplified if >20% of critical role flags sit in junior levels.
Weight
3 / 5
CRating StdDev
Meritocracy
Standard deviation of performance ratings. StdDev <0.3 = inflated ratings. System signals and reduces salary review weight automatically.
Weight
2 / 5
DNon-monotonic
Critical Roles
% of headcount flagged critical. >25% flagged = dilution. The system penalises inflation. More flags ≠ higher salary review weight.
Weight
5 / 5
ECompa-ratio dist.
Internal Equity
% of headcount below band midpoint. Integration point: if PayGapCheck was run, identified gap cohorts receive amplified salary review weight per job family.
Weight
4 / 5
FOut-of-band %
Band Discipline
% of headcount above band maximum. >15% = band structure has collapsed. High weight triggers corrective salary review allocation pressure.
Weight
2 / 5
GTenure correlation
Seniority & Loyalty
Correlation between tenure and band position. Negative = long-tenured employees underpaid vs newer hires — loyalty unrewarded. Weight 5 — salary review correction dominates this cycle.

Salary Review Allocation Logic

Score × Band Position.
The salary review corridor follows.

Every employee lands in one cell. The cell determines the budget multiplier. The multiplier derives the salary review corridor. Budget closes exactly — every time.

Manager View · Salary Review Decision

What the manager sees.
Three options. Nothing more.

The manager does not have a free salary field in the salary review. They choose A, B, or C. Context is mandatory. Override requires HR approval — not just a justification field nobody reads.

Salary Review Rationale — why this corridor
Critical Role (weight 5): role identified as determinant for company trajectory over next 2 years
Retention Risk (weight 4): 14 months tenure, below midpoint — active flight risk signal in this cohort
Internal Equity (weight 4): gap identified in PayGapCheck report for this job family
Band Position moderates: Q2 leaves meaningful room — salary review upside not artificially constrained

Where your salary review sits.
