- Support the annual compensation review cycle — merit increases, promotions, and bonus/variable pay calculations, working closely with Finance and business leaders.
- Assist in preparing and maintaining salary benchmarking data, compensation structures, and pay bands.
- Coordinate the compensation planning tool/module in Keka — budget allocation, manager recommendations, approvals, and final letter generation.
- Support administration of rewards and recognition programs, including tracking nominations, budgets, and payouts.
- Assist in variable pay/bonus calculations based on performance ratings and business/individual metrics.
- Maintain compensation data integrity in Keka and ensure compliance with internal pay equity guidelines.
