Introducing Figures Salary Bands, your ultimate compensation framework

Tired of managing your employee salary bands on complex DIY spreadsheets with multiple tabs?

Messy manual calculations on Excel are prone to errors, not to mention that it quickly becomes obsolete as those sheets aren’t connected to your HR systems with your latest employee data… Resulting in spending countless hours of your previous time updating your spreadsheets, cell-by-cell. Urgh. 

And once you’re finally done?

Here comes the worst part: sharing your bands with managers and recruiters with multiple versions of tabs per team or jobs shared individually with stakeholders. It’s a time-consuming, error prone and unsecure process. 

With the rise of US & EU Pay Transparency legislation that will require companies to disclose information that makes it easier for workers to compare salaries, and notably in job descriptions, it’s time for all companies to adopt a more efficient, scalable and ready to be compliant compensation process.
