Compensation

Run comp without exporting anything.

ChartHop Compensation runs merit, promotion and equity cycles on live performance, budget and band data, so managers decide with the numbers in front of them.

Leading companies analyze workforce data and business data together, not in siloed spreadsheets.

Don't make pay decisions in isolation.

Comp season usually runs on a copy of the data. Someone exports it, the spreadsheet goes around for three weeks, and by the time it comes back the ratings have changed, someone has left, and nobody is certain which version is the real one. ChartHop runs the cycle on the same data everyone else is working from.

"Our first comp review cycle using ChartHop was an overwhelming success. It was kind of incredible. I kept holding my breath waiting for something to go awry because it was going too well; people were sticking to their budgets and doing things on time."
Nanea Fujiyama
Director of People

Pay decisions on the same living model.

Compensation is one layer of your organization. ChartHop keeps it beside performance, budget and structure on a living model of your whole organization, giving you the context to make pay decisions that hold up.

Give managers the numbers, not a spreadsheet.

Give each manager their own budget, their team's performance data and the bands that apply in a live and secure view, with Access Guard making sure each sees only what their role allows.

Run as many cycles as you need.

Configure budgets, guidelines, bands and approvals per cycle, so different regions, departments and timings each run their own way.

Watch the budget move as decisions land.

See the cost of the cycle change in real time across teams and departments, so nobody finds out they're over at the end.

How does ChartHop integrate with other tools?

ChartHop provides one of the most extensive and open HRIS APIs with supported endpoints for both reading and writing data.

How configurable is ChartHop?

ChartHop doesn’t process payroll, but integrates with ADP, Gusto, and other payroll providers so data flows between systems automatically. If your priority is strategic people operations, planning, and analytics rather than payroll processing, ChartHop gives you depth that all-in-one tools can’t match. We’ll help you find the right pairing in the demo.

Does ChartHop offer self-service for employees?

Yes. ChartHop is easy to use and loved by employees. Employees can access ChartHop via the web or via the ChartHop mobile app. They can access and update information on the profile or via any of the visualizations like the Org Chart or Map.

How does ChartHop secure sensitive employee data?

ChartHop comes with robust and configurable set access controls. Every action, view and data point can be limited or restricted to empower people with everything they need to accomplish their job while admins feel confident. Access can also be limited to department, location or area to empower HRBPs or similar roles. Read more about ChartHop Access.

How does ChartHop support managers and leaders?

ChartHop allows a people ops team to deploy tools for managers like one to one (1:1) notes and performance reviews. It also empowers them with access to key employee data and secure AI tools that they can use to improve the way they lead their teams without the need to constantly contact HR.

How does ChartHop offer API access?

Yes. ChartHop offers a modern REST API that customers are able to create secure and limited access to. For example, you could give access to your IT team without giving access to sensitive compensation data.
