SAP SuccessFactors Compensation & Variable Pay

Nowadays, employees expect regular salary increases. This is hardly surprising, since the media regularly remind us when major wage agreements are reached how much extra this or that occupational group will now get on top. For employees covered by collective agreements (without voluntary allowances), the process is comparatively simple. Salaries are increased according to the new regulations - done! It is more difficult for companies in the metal and electrical industry that have to award special performance bonuses according to the collective agreement (read our >> flyer to find out which process agreement options we can offer you). And salary increases for non-tariff employees are different again.

Of course, you could apply the scattershot approach for your company here as well and give everyone the same increase. The problem with this is that hardly anyone would find this truly "fair". If you want to differentiate, things get more complicated. Which criteria come into play? Performance? Relative position compared to similar employees? Length of service? And will only permanent increases be distributed, or also one-time payments as known from collective bargaining agreements?

With SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, you can incorporate all of these criteria into the salary review process. As an HR department, you can specify distribution rules, use release loops, and more, in addition to a budget. Managers get an intuitive interface for planning their own employees, providing visibility into where they currently stand salary-wise and how they are performing, while having full control over the pay raise.

As a company, you can certainly consider whether you want to offer variable remuneration. There are also supporters who prefer to do without it. However, this attitude is usually based on experience with unsuitable systems. And of course the comparison is misleading. There is no question that poorly designed incentive models can be counterproductive. But it is equally clear that performance incentives are fundamentally effective.

In any case, with SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay, you can implement even complex compensation schemes simply and transparently. From hard and soft targets, subjective evaluations or input data, bonus plans can be implemented with various weightings, curve progressions, and minimum and maximum target attainments.

SAP SuccessFactors Compensation & Variable Pay enables midsize companies to implement performance-based compensation schemes and to manage salary reviews for non-tariff employees easily and transparently. This is not only more convenient, but also more cost-effective and, in times of General Data Protection Regulations also much safer than resorting to Excel lists and e-mail chains.

You can use the Compensation & Variable Pay module individually or as a fully integrated component of the SAP SuccessFactors Suite. In doing so, you as a company benefit from the possibility of also easily importing evaluations from the module Performance & Goals and master data from Employee Central.
