Compensation Governance System

What Makes This Block Different?

Most compensation tools are built for planning cycles.
This Block built on GraceBlocks is designed for year-round off-cycle management.

With this Block, HR can:

• Set a dedicated annual off-cycle salary budget
• Automatically deduct approved prorated increases from that budget
• See remaining budget in real-time, all year long
• Control and document every exception as it happens
• Analyze increases by category and reason
• No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No retroactive reconciliation
