Proposing changes

Packages: Basic | Standard* | Premium

* Available as an add-on

You can propose changes to an employee’s compensation by editing the values in the yellow columns of the reviewer workbook table. 

Depending on how your company has configured compensation reviews, the editable columns may be:

  • prepopulated with suggested base change or raise amounts, or
  • display with guideline columns next to them with target values and/or ranges.
You can edit the suggested values in the yellow columns
You can edit the suggested values in the yellow columns

Your company takes into account various factors (for example, employee performance, location, changes in cost of living, length of time since last promotion) and uses those to calculate and suggest a suggested raise amount (or guideline) for each eligible employee.

Edit compensation based on prepopulated amounts

When the editable columns contain suggested raise amounts, you can:

  1. Review the suggested base change/raise amounts for each employee.
  2. (Optional) Make changes to the amounts by:
    • Selecting a cell in the table and editing the value.  
    • All editable fields in the table update automatically based on the numbers you enter.
    • The budget allocations and raise percentages update to reflect your changes. Budget allocations are pre-determined and set up by your compensation review admin. 
    • Any changes you make to the suggested compensation change get added to the total spend of the compensation review.
    • Select the Show totals checkbox to display all the totals in the top row of the table.
  3. Your changes are saved automatically in the table.

Edit compensation based on guidelines

When the editable columns are blank, you can:

  1. Review the suggested guidelines to see the suggested target value or suggested range. 
  2. Propose a compensation change by:
    • Selecting a blank editable cell in the table and entering a value.  
    • All editable fields in the table update automatically based on the numbers you enter.
    • The budget allocations and raise percentages update to reflect your changes. Budget allocations are pre-determined and set up by your compensation review admin. 
    • The difference between what you enter and the established guidelines for that compensation change get added to the total spend of the compensation review.
    • Select the Show totals checkbox to display all the totals in the top row of the table.
  3. Your changes are saved automatically in the table.

Create an exception for an employee

ChartHop empowers you to make the best decisions for your employees, so you do have the ability to bypass the suggested guidelines or suggested amounts for an employee for special circumstances.

When you enter a raise amount or base change that exceeds the suggested guidelines calculated by your company, a flag icon can display next to the amount in the table (depending on the configuration of your compensation review).

Values that exceed guidelines can be flagged

Hovering over the cell displays a tooltip with more information about the suggested guideline for that field, so you can see why the amount was flagged.

You can also add a comment to enter reasons for the exception by selecting the Comment icon next to the employee’s name.
