Merit matrix & increment planning
Translate ratings into increment percentages and plan the CTC impact before applying revisions.
The merit matrix turns appraisal outcomes into a budgeted pay plan.
Plan increments
- 1Go to App → Performance → Merit matrix.
- 2Map each performance rating → increment %.
- 3Review the CTC planning impact across the population before committing.
Apply the plan
- This is a planning tool only — it doesn't push anything into payroll automatically. Apply the planned increases yourself as manual salary revisions with an effective date; back-dated changes generate arrears on the next run — see *Salary revisions & arrears*.
