For many employees, equity is as important, if not more, than their salary. It gives them a stake in their company’s future success, and encourages motivation and loyalty. Given its criticality, businesses that offer equity need to holistically plan for and manage all employee compensation, including salary and equity.
Yet, there’s no easy way to manage total compensation today.
Businesses have their salary data stored in an HR / payroll system and their equity data stored in an equity management system, but no solid integration between two systems exists. This creates all sorts of inefficiencies and painful problems.Here are just a few headaches your team is likely dealing with today:
Every time your managers need to know their direct reports' equity, they have to go to the CEO, COO, HR, Finance, or Legal to get the answer.
Whenever you hire or terminate an employee, you have to manually enter the same data in multiple places, in order to keep your HR and equity management systems up-to-date and in-sync.
In order to run reports that rely on employee compensation data, your HR and Finance teams have to export salary, equity, and other data from multiple systems, import them into Excel, and create pivot tables to run the analysis they need.
Safely allow managers to view their team’s equity
With Rippling’s role-based permissions, you can precisely configure who can view an employee's equity based on their department, role, level, and more. That way your managers no longer have to go to HR, Finance, or Legal every time they need to know how much equity one of their reports has.
Automate your equity admin work with no-code workflow automation
With Rippling Workflow Automator, your team can build workflows using Carta data to help automate manual work — like a workflow to notify HR and managers (via Slack, Email, and more) whenever someone’s total comp drops below a specific threshold due to their equity vesting. This way you can increase an employee’s comp, if necessary, before they start exploring other opportunities.
