Compensation Reports

Every compensation study ends with a report package your board can read

CompBldr produces structured, named, export-ready report packages from GradeBldr job evaluation data and MktBldr market benchmarking data. Position listing summaries. Market comparison matrices. Pay equity analyses by gender and ethnicity. Salary range reports. Implementation cost projections. Each report is versioned, auditable, and formatted for presentation, not for further manipulation.

CompBldr Reports and CompBldr
Analytics Are Two Different Things.

A compensation committee does not review a dashboard. They review a report. A pay equity analysis submitted to legal is not a filtered screen view, it is a version-stamped document that shows every employee in scope, every comparator calculation, and every variance from the defined cohort. That is what CompBldr Reporting produces.

Finalize Reports - Versioned, Auditable,Defensible

EveryGradeBldr and MktBldr report package is produced through CompBldr's FinalizeReports workflow. When a project is finalized, CompBldr stamps the reportpackage with the project name, organization name, project identifier, exportdate, and the user who produced the export. The package is locked at thatstate.

Thisversioning matters for two reasons. First, it creates an auditable record: if agrade assignment or market position is challenged, the version-stamped reportshows exactly what data produced the outcome and when. Second, it prevents theproblem common in spreadsheet-based compensation work where the 'final'version is an undated file that may or may not reflect the approved analysis.

Project Identifier: A unique code on every report page (e.g., NPRDMN01  New Demo Project - Demo Client).
Export Date: A timestamp printed on every page, July 14, 2025, in the demo package, to anchor the data in time.
User Attribution: Every finalized package logs the specific user who generated the export, creating a clear chain of custody.
Organization Name: This is carried through every report, ensuring there is no ambiguity about which client’s data is in scope.
Package Integrity: Finalizing locks the project state. Any subsequent changes to the underlying data will produce a new version rather than overwriting the existing auditable record.
Auditable Record
Shows exactly what data produced the outcome and when, protecting against challenges.
Fixed Records
Prevents the 'final' version problem common in spreadsheet-based compensation work.

Who Uses CompBldr Report Packages

Compensation Committee and Board Presentations

Boards and compensation committees demand structured, consistent reporting. They require the same format every cycle, backed by clear sourcing and free from manual "analyst-assembled" summaries that can introduce error.

The Output
MktBldr report packages are formatted for direct presentation.
Key Components
Market comparison matrices, pay equity analyses, and salary range reports

Pay Equity Studies and Regulatory Documentation

Pay equity analyses (MB-EX004, MB-EX005) produce detailed gender and ethnicity cohort comparisons. These include variance-from-cohort and variance-from-comparator-group calculations at the individual employee level.

The Output
A format designed for regulatory review and legal documentation. Unlike a dashboard that resets when data changes.
Key Components
Provides a defensible record of pay equity status at a specific point in time for EEOC or internal audit purposes.

Compensation Consulting Engagement Deliverables

JER HR Group consultants leverage CompBldr to deliver professional, structured study packages to clients. These suites represent the definitive output of a compensation study.

The Output
A comprehensive, versioned deliverable that includes job evaluation matrices, market benchmarking analyses, proposed grade structures, implementation cost projections, and salary budget summaries.
Key Components
Ensures that the client receives a "locked" document that serves as the basis for their compensation policy for the coming year, rather than a live view that may change as soon as a record is updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CompBldr Reporting and CompBldr Analytics?

CompBldr Analytics is a real-time dashboard suitecompa-ratio distribution, budget vs. actual, pay equity monitoringupdated continuously during active compensation cycles. CompBldr Reporting produces structured, version-stamped export packages from completed GradeBldr and MktBldr analyses: market comparison matrices, pay equity reports, salary range tables, and implementation cost projections formatted for board presentation and legal documentation.

What reports does GradeBldr produce?

GradeBldr produces three reports: GB-EX002 (Position Listing Summary with all 15 JESAP factor scores and proposed grades for every position), GB-EX003 (Position Listing Summary with condensed factor groupings), and GB-EX004 (Point and Pay Regression Analysis, scatter plot of actual pay vs. job value with the regression line). All three are produced at job evaluation project close.

What is the MB-EX003 Potential Costs to Implement Salary Ranges report?

MB-EX003 is an employee-level cost implementation report. It shows every employee's current salary against the proposed range minimum, midpoint, and maximum, with dollar amounts below minimum, the compa-ratio, and dollar amounts above maximum. It covers the full workforce (300 employees in the demo) and is the primary input for budgeting the cost of bringing all employees within the proposed salary structure.

How does CompBldr handle pay equity reporting for gender and ethnicity?

CompBldr produces MB-EX004 (Pay Equity Analysis Gender) and MB-EX005 (Pay Equity Analysis Ethnicity). Both reports are employee-level: every individual in scope appears with their current salary, compa-ratio, cohort average compa-ratio, variance from cohort average, and variance from the defined reference group (male average for gender, White average for ethnicity). Reports are version-stamped for regulatory documentation.

What is the Finalize Reports feature and why does it matter?

Finalize Reports locks a GradeBldr or MktBldr project at a defined state and stamps every page of the exported report package with the project name, project identifier, organization name, export date, and exporting user. This produces an auditable, defensible record, if a grade or salary range decision is challenged, the finalized package documents exactly what data produced it and when. Subsequent changes create a new version, not an overwrite.

How many comparator organizations does CompBldr use in market benchmarking reports?

CompBldr's MktBldr module blends data from up to nine comparator sources per report package. The MB-EX010 Market Comparison Report shows the full position library compared against each named comparator organization individually, with per-source variance calculations. The MB-EX013 Market Comparison Summary provides the statistical regression characteristics (correlation, slope, intercept) for each source, enabling informed source weighting decisions.

Compensation Analysis That Ends With a Report Your Board Can Actually Use

CompBldr produces structured, version-stamped report packages from GradeBldr job evaluation and MktBldrmarket benchmarking data, formatted for compensation committees, legal documentation, and consulting deliverables.
