When you join a compensation review, you get a clear picture of the following: - The complete compensation review cycle timeline, so you know who will review and approve your proposals and when. - Budget allocations relevant to your group of employees, updated in real-time so you can see the financial impact of your proposed compensation changes. - Performance and compensation data for the employees whose compensation you’re reviewing, so you can make data-backed decisions. - Compensation target and range guidelines so that you can be confident that your proposals are on the mark. - Employee-level comments from others in the review, including collaborators and your compensation review admins, to encourage transparency and collaboration. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/CXAjUAezd9VEEVQBIYmdw/EWGKRIzxKv_kAkuqm6ZDC_screenshot-2026-10-30-at-23726-pm.png) ### Access compensation reviews When a compensation review launches, reviewers and approvers receive an email invitation asking them to join the compensation review in ChartHop. Collaborators don't receive an invitation email. If you're added after the review launches, you don't receive an invitation email. You can always open the review from **Comp Reviews** in the left sidebar. To access a compensation review to which you’ve been invited: 1. From the left sidebar, select **Comp Reviews.** 2. Select the name of the compensation review. :::hint{type="info"} You can work in a compensation review while it has a status of **Active**. Paused and completed compensation reviews open in read-only mode. When a compensation review has a status of **Paused**, you can still open it, but you cannot edit, submit, mark proposals as reviewed, or reject proposals until your compensation review admin resumes the review. Your work is saved. ::: :::hint{type="info"} **[Packages](https://www.charthop.com/pricing/): **Basic | **Standard\*** | **Premium****** \* Available as an add-on :::
