Adjust the Budget in an Active Compensation Cycle

The Budget page displays dynamic charts to help you track budget and spend for each of the pay types included in your compensation cycle (merit raises, promotion raises, bonus plan payouts, one-time bonus payouts, equity refresh grants, promotion equity grants, and bonus target adjustments). These charts automatically update to track spend as managers submit their compensation recommendations. 

Before you start

• The Budget page is based on the budget that was set up initially and does not reflect any actual recommendations that may be coming in.
• The Budget page includes a Budget distribution chart that shows the budget breakdown by the three existing categories: raise guidance, distributed, and remaining budget.
• If the distribution ever goes over budget, Lattice will notify you via a callout, however, being over budget will not stop the cycle from running. To prevent going over, adjust your total or distributed budget using the steps below.
