Compensation Forecasting, Analysis and "What if" Payout Viewing
Easily design and review salary plans before they are implemented. nGen Salary has the ability to create salary and merit increase plans in a 'Model' environment before releasing them into 'Production'. Now you can see your plans, make changes, view participant payouts before releasing to the field. Also, compare two plans for differences, pay elements, and participant payouts. Take control of your compensation plans instead of letting them control you.
Communication
nGen Salary has a simple, configurable, security based Dashboard that allows all personnel and Management to view all of the information in one place including all related reports (Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly merit increases, salary alterations, etc). The dashboard allows users to view their individual performance and link to other areas like bonus and performance information. From the dashboard, users can also access a roles-based 'workflow inbox' and Total Compensation 'What If' areas to visualize how individual and team performance will effect their payout. The power is given to the field to drive your company goals.
Integrated Workflow
Because many people are involved in the process of compensation, facilitating workflow between the Field, Management, Operations, HR and Executives is critical. Our integrated workflow is designed to work with the entire nGen software suite: Sales, Bonus and Salary modules. The base functionality allows for easy setup and maintenance of custom approval hierarchies, groups, email notifications, issue status, escalation, file attachments and other custom functions. nGen Salary also has built in features for managing Sales Disputes, Document approvals, and HR actions. This functionality is all combined with an easy to use workflow that integrates with overall audibility and reporting, so Sarbanes Oxley can be easily managed.
Reporting The most important reports are often those that teams have to generate manually. nGen offers three mechanisms to report data:
- Automatically Generate and Schedule Reports: nGen Reporting includes standard templates for monthly pay statements, total compensation, budget allocation, pool distribution, etc.
- Create Ad Hoc Reports: The nGen Ad Hoc interface allows the user to create criteria, filters, organize columns and save custom reports.
- Analyze Your Data: 'Drill In' to see data in many different ways with nGen's analysis tools. Additionally, analyzed data can be exported to XLS, XML, CSV and PDF.
Now you have the power to search, report and communicate accurate data easily.
Application Security and Roles
The entire NGen Software suite utilizes the ability to create roles and groups to limit the ability of users to view, edit, update and print the data. The system utilizes a simple set of user interfaces to grant or revoke access to dashboards, workflow, compensation plan administration as well as the modules of Sales, Bonus and Salary.
