A raise is prepared in Illizeo months ahead: you date it, it applies on its own on the day, and it stays traced.
What Illizeo can do with a raise #
A raise in Illizeo is a new salary with an effective date. You enter it ahead of time, it takes effect on its own on the day, and it leaves a verifiable trace. Costing it in contributions and net pay is done by your payroll producer.

Step by step #
-
Enter the new pay with its effective date #
The date is what counts, not the day you type it. A 1 January raise is entered in November and changes nothing until then.
-
Check it does not apply too soon #
A change dated today takes effect immediately and enters the current month’s payroll. If that is not what you want, date it the 1st of the following month.
-
Adjust bonuses separately #
Bonuses and pay components are distinct from base salary. An annual review often touches both: do not change one believing you changed the other.
-
Review it in the effective month’s payroll #
The period’s changes tab lists that month’s salary changes. That is where a mistyped effective date shows up, before the file goes out.
-
Cost the envelope elsewhere #
Total cost needs your country’s and canton’s contribution tables: your payroll producer has them. Illizeo gives you the wage bill before and after, not the breakdown of charges.
What does not exist #
No raise simulator. No net or contribution calculation. No scenario comparison. No budget envelope to split across teams. No salary review matrix and no positioning recommendation.
FAQ #
Can a backdated raise be entered?
You can date the effect in the past, but Illizeo does not compute the back pay. The catch-up is handled by the payroll producer.
Who can enter a raise?
It is a named right in the permission matrix, and it also applies to the employee concerned: holding the right is not enough, the person must be within your scope.
Is the raise traced?
Yes. The pay history keeps every amount with its effective date, and the payroll period’s audit log keeps who entered it.
What about a work-rate change?
It has its own history. Moving to 80 % and raising the reference salary are two separate entries.
