Frequently asked questions about our compensation planning software
Everything you wanted to know about our software (and a little bit more besides).
Can Cezanne support our compensation plan across multiple countries?
Yes. Cezanne supports multi-country and multi-currency planning activities based on your needs. You can upload your preferred exchange rates, international benchmarking data and manage budgets, salary ranges and suggested increases based on local specifics configured for your business.
Does the tool include Benchmarking functionality?
Sure does. Cezanne allows you to include benchmarking data and set your budgets, role or job level-based benchmarks and salary ranges accordingly.
Is Cezanne’s Compensation Planning software available as a standalone solution?
No. The software is an integration for the wider Cezanne HRIS.
Who can see individual’s compensation data? And how can I ensure the right people can access information and approve the plan?
The pre-configured role-based access in line with organisational hierarchy ensures that only those who can view sensitive information will be able to access this in the system. With real-time searches and reports you can always monitor access and visibility rights.
Can you support off cycle review processes?
Cezanne supports compensation planning for your teams and company as a whole. Off-cycle salary/compensation review is not part of the system.
How can we ensure that managers are supported during the review process?
Managers, reviewers and approvers, are guided through the process by visibility of salary and bonus recommendations for their team with benchmark data and suggestions based on company policy and location set by your HR teams. HR professionals have an overview of the whole process and can step in whenever needed.
What happens if a manager is absent and cannot review/approve compensation?
Administrators (your HR team) can amend the approval line in case of absences to ensure timely completion of the process.
How can Cezanne help with pay transparency and compliance?
Cezanne gives HR teams the tools they need to stay ahead of new regulations like the EU Pay Transparency Directive. You can centralise pay data, map pay structures, and store evidence of how decisions are made. With role-based access and approval flows, your process stays controlled and audit-ready.
How do we ensure fair and consistent compensation practices?
The platform supports detailed pay equity analysis using real-time employee data, with visibility into salary bands, performance ratings, and compensation history. This helps HR and managers make decisions based on facts, not assumptions, so you can promote equal pay, spot pay inequities, and close pay gaps confidently.
Can Cezanne support a more strategic approach to compensation?
Yes. From reviewing new hires to setting budgets with up-to-date data, the system makes your compensation management more efficient and impactful. You can incorporate compensation benchmarking data, align with external comparisons using your salary benchmarking tool, and generate total rewards statements that drive employee satisfaction. All within one secure, easy to use platform that puts data security first.
Does Cezanne offer tools to support pay equity?
Yes. Our compensation management software includes built-in pay equity software features that help HR teams monitor fairness across the board. You can identify pay gaps, review decisions in context, and take steps to support fair pay with confidence.
Do I have to pay extra for implementation or support?
No, you don’t have to pay extra and there are no hidden fees. Like all our software modules, our Compensation Planning software module comes with full implementation and ongoing UK-based customer support included as standard.
