Empowering Organizations to Align Compensation With Employee Performance and Development in One Connected System
BOSTON, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ClearCompany, the talent management platform that empowers HR teams to recruit, ramp, and retain top talent, today announced the launch of its new Compensation Management solution. Designed to eliminate manual workflows, improve equity and compliance, and help organizations make faster, more confident pay decisions, this launch marks a significant milestone in ClearCompany's commitment to delivering a fully unified talent platform.
The solution arrives at a critical time, as HR and finance teams prepare for year-end compensation planning while navigating increasing demands for agile pay strategies. With the new Compensation Management solution, organizations can seamlessly plan and implement fair, data-driven pay practices, eliminating error-prone spreadsheets and manual processes. The solution integrates directly with ClearCompany's Talent Management platform, connecting compensation with performance, hiring, onboarding, and employee goals in one cohesive system.
Addressing the Challenges of Compensation Planning
Compensation planning drives key outcomes like promotions, retention, and performance management. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated spreadsheets — tools that lack critical security features like access controls, version tracking, and audit trails. This puts sensitive compensation data at risk and exposes organizations to compliance gaps, including potential violations of pay equity laws.
ClearCompany's Compensation Management solution addresses these risks by centralizing and automating compensation processes. With built-in governance features, such as role-based access, approval workflows, and audit trails, and real-time data updates, it enables faster and more informed pay decisions. The solution supports both annual planning and agile compensation practices like off-cycle adjustments for promotions, market corrections, and retention incentives, helping companies respond to talent needs without waiting for year-end cycles and retain top performers consistently.
"It's not just about streamlining merit cycles — it's about building a system that adapts to the way modern compensation actually works," said Eric Guba, Senior Director of Compensation at ClearCompany. "Our platform supports the full spectrum of compensation types — including bonuses, equity, and off-cycle adjustments like spot awards and retention incentives — through sophisticated HR workflows and approval routing that align with each organization's unique processes."
With many companies earmarking 0.5% to 1.0% of payroll for off-cycle adjustments, agility in compensation planning is more important than ever.

Unlocking the Full Potential of Compensation Management
Compensation Management is designed to work seamlessly with ClearCompany's full Talent Management platform — connecting pay decisions with performance, hiring, onboarding, and goal-setting. While it can be purchased on its own, its greatest value comes from this integration, giving organizations a complete view of employee contributions and enabling smarter, more equitable pay decisions.
As organizations prioritize strategies that recognize and reward top talent, aligning compensation with performance has never been more critical. With performance ratings, calibration insights, and OKRs embedded directly into the system, ClearCompany Compensation Management ensures pay plans reflect individual and team achievements, empowering businesses to adopt strategic, equitable practices that drive workforce success.
"Compensation is one of the most powerful levers in talent management, and it deserves to live where talent decisions are actually made," said Arnaud Grunwald, Chief Product Officer at ClearCompany. "What makes this launch special is not just the feature set — it's the fact that compensation now sits alongside performance, hiring, and goals in one connected system. That integration unlocks smarter decisions with less friction, and at a fraction of the cost of building a patchwork of disconnected tools."
With the addition of Compensation Management, ClearCompany expands its best-in-class, unified talent platform, enabling HR and finance teams to make strategic decisions with greater clarity, control, and confidence. This milestone deepens ClearCompany's commitment to supporting the entire employee lifecycle in one connected system where talent decisions are made with complete context.
