Before you start
Talento turns information that is often scattered across spreadsheets, documents, and isolated decisions into a connected system. You can define how work is organised, assign a contract to each employee, prepare effective-dated salary structures, and retain every compensation revision in their history.
The aim is not merely to store a salary. By connecting job positions, contracts, and salary tables, you can:
- apply consistent criteria to people doing comparable work;
- prepare future reviews without changing current remuneration;
- check who a new table will affect before applying it;
- explain where each amount came from and when it took effect;
- reduce errors involving legal entities, currencies, working time, seniority, or classification;
- provide better data for cost reports, job valuation, and pay equality.
Information
This guide is for administrators, HR teams, and managers with authorised access. Employees do not manage their contracts or salaries through this workflow. What each manager can review or change depends on their permission and employee scope.
Recommended end-to-end workflow
To introduce contract and salary management in a controlled sequence:
- review legal entities and permissions;
- standardise contract categories, working times, and contract end reasons;
- define professional groups, families, and levels;
- create salary concepts for each legal entity;
- document and value job positions;
- assign job positions and conditions to contracts;
- record the initial or current salary revision;
- create the salary table and its first draft version;
- add or import bands, supplements, and amounts;
- validate and publish the version;
- compare contracts, correct issues, and apply the selected revisions;
- review Reports and Pay equality.
Repeat the cycle with a new version for every organisation-wide review. This preserves which rules were approved, when they took effect, and how they reached each contract's history.

Common problems
The table cannot find an employee
Confirm that the employee has an active contract, their office belongs to the same legal entity as the table, and their job position or group matches a valid base band for their seniority.
Two possible bands appear
Review job positions, groups, and seniority intervals. Two base bands with the same specificity and overlapping periods are ambiguous and must be corrected before publication.
The proposal does not match the expected total
Check the frequency, payments per year, workload percentage, and Include in annual gross setting. Hourly amounts and non-salary concepts are not included in the proposed annual gross salary.
The job position and contract salaries differ
This is possible and does not by itself indicate an error. The job-position range is a reference; the contract retains the employee's actual compensation. Use the comparison to analyse the difference and a revision to record any decision.
I need to correct a published version
A published version is permanent. Clone it, correct the new draft, set the appropriate date, and publish it as another version. Do not try to reconstruct the past by changing rules that have already been applied.
A future revision does not appear as the current salary
The current salary uses the latest revision whose effective date has arrived. The future revision remains in the history and becomes current on its effective date.
