Managers, supervisors, HR, payroll and top management all have a hand in the salary review process. Using a tool that is organized around this reality makes the task far more manageable from beginning to the end. Third party market data on commensurate salaries can be incorporated to highlight discrepancies. Working with a feed from payroll, managers can then make salary and/or bonus recommendations and roll them up through the ranks for approval. Now, senior management has a clearly organized picture of the entire employee pool and can approve raises and bonuses with stunning alacrity.

Simply put, everyone is working from the same page. Using online access, online routing, and online approvals streamline the process and keep redundancies to a minimum. Management can review the process while it is occurring and make mid-course corrections instantly. And if anyone is on the road, they can log in from anywhere – rather than stalling the process.
