SimplyMerit Features

SimplyMerit allows compensation professionals, senior leaders, and managers to collaborate without version control issues or email exchanges. The platform provides instant visibility into compensation adjustments with automatic tracking of changes for comprehensive audit trails. Moreover, teams can monitor budget allocations while maintaining secure role-based access controls that protect sensitive employee data.

See How It Works

Organizations allow currency conversions in 140+ currencies. This allows teams to work in local currencies while executives view consolidated data in the company’s base currency. The platform applies configurable prorations based on hire dates and employment status. This streamlines compensation planning by providing managers with unified views of both local and global budget allocations.

See How It Works

The software generates highly configurable statements that employees can access to understand compensation packages beyond base salary. These statements showcase salary, bonuses, equity, and benefits in one clear view. Furthermore, organizations can customize statement templates while the system distributes them with one-click generation. This improves employee engagement and retention through better compensation communication.

See How It Works

SimplyMerit software delivers board-ready analytical reports that identify trends, biases, and opportunities. It analyzes gender pay differentials, high-potential employees, at-risk talent, market positioning, and budget allocation patterns across the organization. Compensation leaders gain strategic intelligence about merit cycle outliers and disparity issues. This enables data-driven decisions that address equity concerns and optimize spending effectiveness across employee populations.

See How It Works

The software features intuitive workflow design that guides managers through compensation adjustment requests and approvals. Custom approval paths route pays decisions through appropriate management hierarchies while maintaining transparency. Moreover, the requested adjustments and special exceptions remain visible throughout the approval chain, with automated notifications communicating approvals, rejections, or modifications to impacted managers and team members.

Easy setup with direct award letters

Pros

Setup is really easy and it's simple to use for both employees and our HR team. The vendor's responsiveness and customer support have been impressive too. I also love that award letters can be created and sent directly from the platform.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of any real drawbacks. We did have a fairly complex bonus structure which forced us to get a bit creative with the configuration but it ultimately worked and the team's support was invaluable in exploring different approaches and helping us arrive at a solution.

Responsive support with customizable features

Pros

I have been impressed with the overall user experience as the platform is very easy to use. Client support is also responsive, there are new customizable features, setup does not take long and the team is open to new requests.

Cons

That said, I find the customization and formatting options for merit and comp letters a bit too basic and sadly there is not an integration with our current HRIS, Dayforce.

Easy merit cycles need better filters

Pros

We use SimplyMerit for merit increases and promotions and I find the platform very easy to use. What I like most is its clear, customer-focused design as it cuts down on manager training time and lets our team handle the entire merit cycle on their own. The unlimited guidance and support give me confidence when dealing with complex situations and help prevent data errors. It is also great at importing salary histories from Namely efficiently which saves me a lot of manual work and speeds up setup significantly.

Cons

One thing I wish the tool had is a filter option on column headings, so I could quickly find specific employee details without scrolling through the whole list. I also find it frustrating that there is no freeze panes feature for rows and columns that makes it harder for managers when they need to scroll to the end. Lastly, I'd like the salary history dropdown to appear right after the employees name, so I can easily compare salaries between two people.
