The Compensation Profile helps you make more informed decisions about compensation changes and keep track of them.

• Understand people's compensation: Review employees' current contractual compensation, including when it last changed.
• Keep track of compensation changes: See all changes in one place. Add comments to salary changes. Capture what changed, by whom, when, and why.
• Support fair pay with salary bands: See if people's pay is consistent with their role and level. Control who can view salary bands in Roles and permissions to promote pay transparency.
• Access pay documents: Access shortcuts to an employee's latest and all payslips.

Personio is rolling out the Compensation Profile gradually. If you don’t see this feature in your account yet, it will become available to all accounts in the coming weeks.

Access the compensation profile

To access the compensation profile, go to the employee profile and click Compensation.

It's important to note the following:

• You can access the feature regardless of your Personio plan.
• Salary bands are only visible if your account's job architecture settings include salary bands. You also need permissions to view salary bands.
• Pay document shortcuts are only visible when documents exist in the Payroll category and you have view access to these.

Understand permissions and change history visibility

When checking compensation types histories, the information you can see depends on the type of permissions you have:

Edit permissions for salary information: You can see compensation types histories including scheduled changes (in the overview and breakdown views), change comments, change dates or change makers.

Viewing permissions for salary information: You can see compensation type histories, but you cannot see scheduled changes, change comments, change dates or change makers. This is potentially sensitive information requiring a higher level of access.

Review an employee's contractual compensation agreements
