Hi! I'm Arnaud,
20+ years in compensation, and I still get a small buzz when the new survey data drops. Make of that what you will.
What those years taught me: most pay problems aren't maths problems. The maths is the easy part. The judgement is the job - economics, psychology, law, politics, data, usually with incomplete information.
A couple of things I'm sure of. Benchmarking doesn't set the pay; the person reading it does. And most people don't think they're underpaid - they think they're paid unfairly. Only one of those is solved with money.
That's why I build the spreadsheets - Zecomp tools carry the maths and the method, so you're free to do the part that was always the point.
The judgement.

frequently asked questions
Straightforward answers to help you make informed choices.
Who is Zecomp built for?
Primarily, small and mid-size companies — typically 30 to 500 employees — that don't have a dedicated Compensation specialist. Reward specialists at larger companies also use the toolkits to save time on common workstreams rather than building from scratch.
What countries do they work in?
The methodology is country-agnostic and built on Reward principles that apply globally. Currency, tax treatment, and statutory rules are inputs you provide — so the toolkits work for a Wellington company as well as one in London, Paris, or Singapore.
Do I need market salary data to use them?
For the Salary Banding Tool, yes — but you can use any source: published salary surveys, public benchmarks, or data you've collected through your own hiring. The Bonus Plan Designer and Pay Equity Audit Kit work without any external data.
Are the templates customisable?
Yes. They're standard Excel files — every cell, formula, and table is editable. The methodology is built in, but the inputs are yours to define. There's no lock-in, no proprietary file format, and no hidden formulas.
Why Excel and not a web app?
Because Excel is what HR teams already use, trust, and can audit. There's no subscription to renew, no vendor to depend on, no data leaving your laptop. Web-based tools may come later; the Excel toolkits will always be available.
Can I use the toolkits with my own clients?
Yes. The single-user licence covers your own consulting work. Please don't redistribute the files themselves — clients who want their own copy should buy their own licence.
