Frequentlyasked questions
Salary benchmarking is the process of analyzing compensation data across roles, industries, and regions to determine competitive pay ranges. For global hiring, salary benchmarking in countries like Indonesia is essential to attract top talent, remain compliant with local wage regulations, and avoid costly overpayment or underpayment mistakes. By using market-driven benchmarks, companies can make smarter, data-backed decisions when expanding into new markets.
Yes. Our benchmarking services are customized by job title, seniority, industry, company size, and geographic region. Whether hiring a Salaried Employee, a contractor filing Form 1099-NEC, or staff requiring a work visa, we adapt benchmarks to your specific needs. By aligning compensation with local Employment Pass or S Pass requirements, we help companies balance talent acquisition goals with accurate workforce analytics for informed decision-making.
Compensation markets evolve quickly, especially in high-growth sectors like tech and digital services. To remain competitive, companies should update their benchmarks annually—and ideally every 6 months. This aligns salaries with labor law updates, Currency Exchange fluctuations, and inflation trends. Frequent updates also ensure compliance with International Labor Laws and strengthen employee retention strategies, especially in distributed or remote work policy-driven organizations.
Absolutely. Our reports go beyond gross to net salary calculations to provide a total-rewards view—including 13th Month Pay, performance bonuses, equity, and both statutory and optional Employee Benefits like Provident Fund (PF) or Auto-Enrolment Pension Scheme. We also account for end of service gratuity or severance pay obligations where required. This ensures businesses can build competitive and compliant offers under both local labor law and International Tax Compliance.
Salary benchmarking directly impacts Employee Retention and financial planning. Offering compensation aligned with minimum wage laws and local market trends reduces attrition and helps forecast FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) costs more accurately. With reliable data, HR teams can plan Payroll Audits, manage post-tax deductions, and create sustainable budgets. For finance teams, this translates into measurable ROI through reduced turnover costs and stronger long-term Global Workforce Strategy.
