Compensation planning shouldn't be a spreadsheet nightmare.

Compensation planning lives in spreadsheets, causing mismatches and stale data. Keka unifies planning, benchmarking, headcount, and rewards with performance and payroll in one system fully.

Compensation planning

Plan compensation with real numbers, budgets, and guardrails.

Give managers the ability to make pay recommendations within the boundaries HR and finance set. Everyone sees what they need to, nobody goes over budget.

Budget-controlled planning cycles

Set overall compensation budgets by department, team, or business unit. Managers recommend within their allocated pool. HR and finance see real-time spend against budget as decisions are made, not after.

Performance-linked recommendations

Managers see each employee’s review rating, goal completion, tenure, and current pay side by side when making comp recommendations. Decisions are grounded in performance data, not negotiation skill or recency bias.

Approval workflows that keep it clean

Multi-level approvals with configurable rules. Flag exceptions automatically: over-budget recommendations, pay equity outliers, or recommendations that don’t align with performance ratings. Every decision has an audit trail.

Workforce planning

Plan your workforce with the same rigor you plan your budget.

Connect headcount decisions to compensation costs, department budgets, and business goals. See the true cost of every hire before you make it.

Headcount forecasting

Set overall compensation budgets by department, team, or business unit. Managers recommend within their allocated pool. HR and finance see real-time spend against budget as decisions are made, not after.

Vacancy and fill-rate tracking

Track open positions, time to fill, and the cost of vacancies in real time. Know which roles are critical, which are delayed, and what the budget impact is of every unfilled seat.

Fix payroll without reopening everything

When a new role is approved in headcount planning, it flows into Keka Hire as a requisition. When the hire is made, it flows into payroll. One decision, one data thread, no re-entry.

Total Rewards

Show your people the full
picture of what they earn.

Salary is just one part. Give employees a clear, personalized view of total compensation including pay, bonuses, equity, and benefits.

  • Auto-generate personalized total rewards with salary, bonuses and benefits.
  • Show real-time total compensation impact during raises and promotions
  • Build trust and retention with clear, transparent rewards visibility

Make compensation decisions grounded in market reality.

Access compensation benchmarks by role, level, geography, and industry so your pay decisions are competitive and defensible.

  • Build market-aligned salary bands and spot employees across ranges
  • Surface pay gaps across gender, tenure, department, and performance
  • Set pay strategy by percentile and compare against market benchmarks

Built-In Integration

Compensation that's connected to performance, payroll, and your people data.

Performance to compensation

Ratings and goals flow into compensation planning. Managers see performance context without exports or spreadsheets.

Compensation to payroll

Approved changes flow directly to payroll. No re-entry, no reconciliation, no mismatches.

Benchmarking to budgets

Market data shapes pay bands, budgets, and planning in one connected system.

INTEGRATIONS

Payroll that integrates with your finance ecosystem

Integrate with your accounting stack to keep payroll runs, tax liabilities, and workforce costs automatically
aligned with your books, eliminating manual sync and improving financial clarity.

SECURITY, SCALE & RELIABILITY

Performance reviews that tell you who is ready to grow, lead, and move up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is compensation management software and what does it do?

Compensation management software helps HR and finance teams plan, administer, and communicate employee pay. It covers salary bands, bonus cycles, pay equity analysis, benchmarking, and total rewards, replacing manual spreadsheet processes with a connected, auditable system.

How does compensation management HR software help reduce pay inequity?

It surfaces pay gaps across gender, tenure, department, and performance within a single view. HR teams can identify outliers, apply corrections within approved budgets, and document every decision, making pay equity a continuous practice rather than an annual audit.

What is incentive compensation management software used for?

Incentive compensation management software is used to plan, track, and pay out variable rewards such as bonuses, commissions, and performance incentives. It links individual and team performance data to payout calculations, reducing manual errors and disputes.

How is enterprise compensation management software different from basic tools?

Enterprise compensation management software supports multi-level approval workflows, role-based permissions, multi-currency pay, advanced benchmarking, and integration with payroll and HRIS systems. It is built for complex organizations with multiple departments, geographies, and compensation structures.

Can Keka replace our current compensation planning process?

Yes. If you are currently planning compensation in spreadsheets, Keka replaces the entire workflow including budgets, manager recommendations, approvals, pay equity checks, and payroll handoff. It is affordable compensation management software designed to work for teams of all sizes.

Does benchmarking data come included with Keka?

Yes. Keka provides access to compensation benchmarks by role, level, geography, and industry. These benchmarks feed directly into salary band creation and planning cycles so your pay decisions are always grounded in current market data.

Can different departments run different compensation cycles in Keka?

Yes. Keka’s compensation plan management software allows HR teams to configure separate cycles by department, business unit, or geography. Each cycle can have its own timeline, budget, approval chain, and eligibility criteria.

How does Keka's compensation management software handle role-based access?

Keka is built as compensation management software with role-based permissions. Managers see only their team’s data, HR partners see department-wide views, and finance gets budget-level reporting. No one accesses data outside their defined scope.

Still planning compensation in spreadsheets?

See how Keka connects compensation to performance, payroll, and market data so every pay decision is fair, competitive, and backed by evidence.
