Build and model pay structures before you commit

Build structures
Build salary structures from the market
Turn priced jobs into grades and ranges with the midpoint progression and range spread your philosophy calls for.
- Grades and ranges from market data
- Set range spread and midpoint progression
- Geographic ranges backed by Squirrel’s local data
Multiple structures
Every pay structure you need, in one place
Run as many pay structures as your organization needs: by country, business unit or job family, each in its own currency.
Build each structure independently, or connect them so related structures stay aligned. Either way, they live side by side in CompTool, ready to model and compare.
