Compensation

Pay bands drift out of step with the live market and with internal equity, so retention risk on under-banded talent is invisible until an offer is already on the table. Payroll, the market-comp feed, and HRIS each hold one piece; no single system sees the gap.

Why now

Three employees in the same role family sit below band midpoint while the market-comp feed has moved up; retention exposure is concentrated.

pay to midpoint gap8–14%
Why now

Pay-to-midpoint gap: 8-14% below the role family band; market-adjusted gap 13-19% once the live feed is factored in.

modeled retention lift11–17%
Why now

Modeled 12-month retention lift from the adjustment: 11-17 percentage points, moving the cohort from a 58-71% to a 72-85% stay band.

Draft

Allocator

Prepares an adjustment proposal with the band-midpoint target, the equity-checked range, and the modeled retention effect for manager review.

Act

Notifier

On human approval, writes the proposed adjustment back to payroll and opens the HRIS change record; nothing executes without sign-off.

Watch
