Compliance coverage

Performance compliance that protects the company.

A structured, documented appraisal process protects the company legally and ensures every increment and promotion decision is defensible.

Labour Law
Documented performance records
Every appraisal cycle produces a documented performance record per employee. Critical in dispute resolution and wrongful termination claims.
Contract Law
Increment letters with legal terms
Increment and promotion letters generated with legally valid terms. Changes to compensation are documented and acknowledged by the employee.
Factories Act
Non-discriminatory rating process
Bell curve analytics and structured rating frameworks ensure appraisals are objective and defensible against discrimination or bias allegations.
Labour Law
PIP documentation
Performance Improvement Plans documented within the system with timelines, goals, and outcomes. Creates a clear paper trail before any disciplinary action.
Data Privacy
Confidential review data
Peer reviews, manager feedback, and rating data stored with strict access controls. Only authorised stakeholders can view individual performance data.
Payroll
Increment-to-payroll audit trail
Every salary change triggered by an appraisal is linked back to the approved rating and increment letter — creating a complete audit trail from review to payslip.
Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Does it support 360 feedback?
Yes — self, manager, peer and skip-level input, rolled into a single fair view.
Can we calibrate across teams?
Calibration tools compare ratings across teams to keep them consistent and bias-aware.
How long does a cycle take?
Most teams run a full cycle in days, not weeks — the flow does the chasing.
