It replaces manual spreadsheets with a centralized application designed to support merit budgets, annual bonus pools, and equity grants across global organizations. With SimplyMerit, organizations gain transparency into compensation decisions while reducing errors and administrative burden. HR leaders configure rules that match their business needs, managers make data-driven pay decisions, and employees see the full value of their pay through personalized Total Rewards Statements and a dedicated employee portal. SimplyMerit is particularly valuable for organizations managing multi-currency workforces, running complex approval workflows, or seeking to eliminate the risks of spreadsheet-based compensation cycles. Enterprise teams choose SimplyMerit for depth rather than breadth. HCM suites are broad by design and comparatively shallow in merit, bonus, and equity planning. SimplyMerit supplies that depth alongside the systems already in place, with no core HR replacement project: layered approval hierarchies backed by a full audit trail, consolidated multi-currency budgets across entities and regions, granular role-based permissions, and configuration that adapts as compensation strategy changes. Large employers run SimplyMerit as a dedicated planning layer while their HCM remains the system of record. Implementation does not depend on integration readiness. Clients who arrive with nothing more than a messy spreadsheet have gone live in under five days, because SimplyMerit maps and transforms the data it receives rather than asking clients to reformat it first. API connectors are added where systems expose access, and they can follow go-live instead of gating it. KEY FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES Compensation planning: manage merit increases, bonuses, and equity grants in one application. Dynamic field mapping: send an export from any system and SimplyMerit maps and transforms the fields, with no HRIS change and no reformatting required. API connectors: direct connections where HRIS and payroll systems expose API access, with your team mapping fields once. New connectors are built as clients bring their systems. Global budget consolidation: automatic currency conversion and prorations from configurable business rules, with a single consolidated view across entities and regions. Approval hierarchies: route pay decisions through custom approval paths, with executive approvals recorded as a system of record for auditability. Live budget tracking: managers see allocations against spend as they enter recommendations. Configuration support: adjust rules, guidelines, and workflows as compensation strategy changes, working with compensation professionals rather than a ticket queue. Total Rewards Statements: generate and securely distribute personalized summaries of total compensation. Employee portal: a fully customizable portal where employees view compensation details, Total Rewards Statements, and compensation statements, including personalized total rewards dashboards. Retained award history: prior awards and statements stay available to employees, with clients deciding how much history to load and retain. Year-round employee access: extend the portal beyond the annual cycle as a configurable setting, so employees can revisit their total rewards and history between planning cycles. Mobile-ready application: support managers wherever they work with a responsive interface. Data security: enterprise-grade security, granular role-based access, and GDPR compliance. USE CASES HR and compensation teams running annual or mid-year compensation cycles. Enterprises needing compensation depth alongside an existing HCM without replacing core HR. Organizations managing multi-currency workforces across multiple entities and geographies. Companies with multi-level approval hierarchies and audit requirements. Organizations looking to reduce risk and eliminate spreadsheet-driven processes. Teams that need to launch quickly without waiting on an integration project. Employers strengthening year-round pay communication as transparency expectations rise. Businesses seeking better visibility and governance over compensation decisions. By streamlining compensation planning, SimplyMerit helps organizations improve accuracy, reduce risk, and deliver a better employee experience. Leaders gain confidence in budget management, managers make fairer pay decisions with real-time visibility, and employees understand the full value of their rewards. * * * Product Website SimplyMerit Seller [MorganHR, Inc.](https://www.g2.com/sellers/morganhr-inc) Discussions [SimplyMerit Community](https://www.g2.com/products/simplymerit/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Neil Morgan (Eliminate Spreadsheets From Your Annual Merit and Bonus Process) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 1 month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/simplymerit/pricing) ## SimplyMerit Integrations (10) What do users say about integrations?

KW Kellie W. Senior Human Resources Operations Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/10/2022 "Effective Solution for Compensation Process" 5/5 What do you like best about SimplyMerit? Coming from a traditional spreadsheet to manage our year-end process, SimplyMerit made the transition to a tool easy and effective. The overall design has a similar look and feel that we were used to with an excel spreadsheet and allowed us to customize for our organization. The tool is simple enough that everyone at different levels can easily allocate merit and bonus dollars while keeping a pulse on their entire organization/team. Beyond the capabilities of the tool, the overall service we receive from the SimplyMerit team is great! They are timely, and truly have the customer at the heart of everything they do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? One challenge we have is that the tool does not configure with our current HRIS, Paylocity. This results in additional work for the HR team to export and import the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? Using SimplyMerit we have streamlined the entire process and reduced the manual tasks associated with the annual review cycle. This allows the HR team to be more intentional in the training and guideance provided to leaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is very easy to use for managers and requires very little training on behalf of those administering the system. The administration portion of the system behind the scenes allows for a lot of self-service, which is very nice to be reactive to changes and manager requests versus needing to rely on system administrators to make minor changes. Being able to batch upload data, from all fields to just a few is extremely slick and there are fantastic controls to not allow any fields to be uploaded from the template if even one field has issues. This limits the need to fix issues one-by-one iteratively. If you want to get out of Excel and provide your employees with a simple interface for planning annual increases and other compensation rewards, look no further! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? Some of the system steps required quite a bit of assistance from the company's system experts, such as the notification letters, but they are extremely responsive making this not much of a negative. The system's manager interface can be a bit cumbersome with losing the headers if they have more than 20 direct reports, but should managers really have that many direct reports? I wish there was an option to not allow managers to spend beyond their budget controlled by the system, but this is ultimately able to be managed by training on the budget process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? No need to pass spreadsheets back and forth or require managers to calculate employee salary placement in range on their own. Recommended increases are also able to be embedded in the tool requiring fewer offline supporting materials for managers to make fully informed compensation decisions. It additionally allows clear monitoring in real-time how the organization is spending allocated budgets, which includes a system approval from next-level managers.

Literally took about 30 minutes to train everyone; with any new platform implementation, we expect to get dozens of questions from managers. But the system is designed so well that we got only a handful of questions from managers - customer support: superb! shoutout to Neil Morgan and Austin Keller. They really gave us white-glove service that continued even AFTER the contract was signed. (shocking, right?). After implementation, if we had any questions, they were quick to respond and always happy to hop onto a video call. - customizable based on how our company operates - generates letters to employees with smart fields that can be customized on the template; there is also an option to send those letters directly to employees through the system - lighting fast to implement! did it within two weeks! this is outstanding compared to other platforms I used in the past. It would take multiple months to implement on top of COUNTLESS meetings between us and the Account Manager - option for managers to add comments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? - while compensation letters can be generated and sent to employees directly through SimplyMerit, there is no "signature" feature.

SimplyMerit was utilized for our merit process this year. The system is easy to use and accomodating to various modes of compensation (merit, bonus, stock, etc.). The ability for managers to go in and make their recommendations and the ability to have real-time data is awesome, especially if you have had to use a spreadsheet to manage a merit process. Our managers made many comments on how easy the system was to use and how intuitive it was. I also received very positive comments on how smoothly and seamless the process was compared to other years. The analytics and reporting is very robust. We were able to provide compensation letters to our employees very easily and the presentation was excellent. We have a very complex merit process and the staff at SimplyMerit were amazing. We had a lot of asks, needed a lot of hand holding, and had many last minute changes. We were always met with a smile and an answer to our needs. The customer service was fantastic. I would highly recommend SimplyMerit if you are looking for a stand alone system to facilitate your year end merit and bonus process. You will not be disappointed and it is worth the spend which is very reasonable for the service provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? Would have liked to have a freeze pane feature so that when you scroll right you could still see the employee name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? We solved the problem of passing around and managing an excel spreadsheet for a merit process that encompassed over 3,000 employees. This reduced our security risk, overall time spend and reduced errors. Our managers were happy with the process. Employees received compensation letters. The reporting was excellent and allowed us to see an analysis of our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SimplyMerit was extremely easy to set up. We did not use the direct link from our HRIS to SimplyMerit and instead imported a report, but the process was almost too easy and their how-to guides walk you through the fields needed. Once imported, you can start setting up the system right away. SimplyMerit has some of the best customer support I have ever received from a vendor. They consistently give proactive feedback and suggestions, respond immediately to any errors or questions, and go the extra mile in every regard to make sure you and your pay planners have the best possible experience. The compensation/bonus statements came out great and we got lots of compliments from employees and leadership. No errors at all as the information is pulled directly from the software. Tens of hours of time saved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? There was a limited amount of custom fields, it would have been nice to have a few extra when setting up the merit/bonus statements. The system can be a bit tricky to navigate for pay planners who have multiple reporting lines, but SimplyMerit does have "Help" videos and guides that come up addressing this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SimplyMerit: Really great system if you are just moving away from Excel. It was fantastic to see their budget update in real time and employees enjoyed the system despite the huge amount of change management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? We (finally) got away from Excel for merit planning. This saved hours of our HR team and leadership's time as they did not have to consolidate different versions of excel documents and waste time creating formulas. We also did not have to create several templates for different countries, bonus types, etc. for our yearly reward statements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to upload all necessary data such as prior compensation history and compensation bands, which allowed managers to make informed decisions for their team. The support we received was responsive and we were able to provide comprehensive training prior to inviting managers. Overall the team found SimpleMerit to be a helpful tool and relatively intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? Equity, bonus, and salary are all split out on different tabs, so some managers needed additional coaching to ensure they completed all three sections. We wished there was some additional flexibility around locking certain cells, for example, we loaded in market adjustments that we did not want managers to be able to edit, but we could not lock the field. It was relatively simple to cross-check throughout the cycle but I think having the ability to control what fields can be edited and what fields are locked (market adjustments, performance ratings, etc.) would be a nice to have feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? Less reliance on spreadsheets, more control over locking data, streamlined approval process. In addition to what we hoped to achieve, we were also able to improve manager understanding of compensation bands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support and responsiveness has been really great. In terms of user interface it is very intuitive and easy for our managers to use and a huge step up from a spreadsheet-based process. We always get our questions answered very quickly, even if the answer is "we can't add that functionality at this time". I've used other platforms where they either overpromise on functionality / customization or give unclear timeframes as to when things can be changed / added. This can make planning and designing a compensation process extra difficult given the training/communication aspects to managers of using a tool. With SimplyMerit, I find they can often accommodate customization requests and if they can't, they are clear about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimplyMerit? The tool is still mostly geared toward merit. For a company that fully utilizes bonus and equity planning cycles, those functionalities are not as fleshed out as the merit portion is. Very minor items like not being able to lock the scrolling when you have many fields in the planning panel was an issue for some managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SimplyMerit: Given the relatively low cost, what they can do, and the level of customer support and engagement, I would recommend SimplyMerit to any smaller sized company looking to step up from a manual/spreadsheet based approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimplyMerit solving and how is that benefiting you? Our goal is for managers to have more ownership and for planning to go down to the first line manager. SimplyMerit has greatly moved the needle for our company in that respect. Our first year (without a tool), almost all planning was held to the Director/VP level. We've managed to increase participation and ownership for planning and decision making with each cycle we've used SimplyMerit for. In addition, this has greatly reduced the manual and administrative work that was required previously including tracking multiple spreadsheets and versions and creating mail merge letters for employees. The tool makes changes up and down managers' levels very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
