Smart Compensation Data Requirements
Learn about the data requirements for Smart Compensation.
Overview
Administrators must load employee data into the Smart Compensation application before creating a compensation cycle. If your source system meets the following minimum data requirements, data can be loaded through a connector, file upload, or Direct Data Intake API. For more information, see Data In.
Note: Visier will support you through the data load process and help you identify the methods that work best for you. If there are any data issues, contact Visier Technical Support.
If your source system does not meet the minimum data requirements, contact your Customer/Partner Success Manager to help you load your data. In addition to the minimum data requirements, you have the option to load other data elements for more robust compensation information such as bonus and long term incentive data.
