Smarter Compensation for Government Contractors

Pull in Accurate Role and Rate Data from Your Source Systems

Aeqium integrates with your HRIS, equity tools, and performance platforms to bring together the data required for compliant compensation cycles. Eliminate error-prone spreadsheets and ensure your compensation process reflects labor categories, clearance status, and contract-specific eligibility.

Most government contractors reduce manual prep time from weeks to hours.

Equip Program Managers and Division Leads with the Data They Need

Your leaders are responsible for recommending comp changes across multiple contracts and locations. Aeqium helps them make informed, defensible decisions with access to past cycles, rate bands, and performance indicators directly in the workflow.

Handle Contract-Specific Pay Logic Without Custom Spreadsheets

Every contract has different rules. With Aeqium, you can define eligibility logic, career tracks, and rate structures by program, location, union status, or labor category. Easily adapt to organizational changes or new contracts without rebuilding your workflow.

Track Pay Reviews Across Divisions, Contracts, and Clearance Levels

Aeqium shows you which teams have submitted recommendations, which are pending, and where budget constraints are emerging. Get visibility across classified and unclassified groups, cost centers, or billing structures to keep cycles on track.

Segment Comp Insights by Labor Category, Contract, or Region

Run clear reports for internal leadership or external audit requests. Slice data by contract, role, geography, or union status to understand compensation trends, validate compliance, and support pricing strategies for future bids.

Provide Employees with Professional, Easy-to-Understand Comp Statements

When raises or adjustments are made, Aeqium generates personalized compensation summaries that reflect job level, clearance, and contract alignment. Build transparency and reduce HR back-and-forth without compromising security or accuracy.

People Teams Love Aeqium

Aeqium absolutely has a positive ROI for dbt Labs. We can easily customize it to match every iteration of our comp program, and it helps us and our managers make more thoughtful comp decisions. It’s made my life easier and is a big “W” for our people team.

Clyde Stackhouse
Global Total Rewards Manager at dbt Labs

Aeqium was a no-brainer. It costs us less than half of what we were being charged by Pave. It's easier to configure, it's easier for our managers to use, and our leadership team raves about it.

Joe Bast
VP of People and Operations at Crisp

Aeqium has been instrumental in advancing our team's understanding of total compensation and has become the center of gravity for all things comp at WHOOP.

Rob Case
SVP Talent at WHOOP

Other platforms want to fit you into a box and say, ‘this is how you should be doing it.’ but with Aeqium, we were in the driver's seat and could tell the tool how we wanted things to look.

Carter Faison
Head of Total Rewards & People Operations at Thoropass

Our compensation review ran so smoothly with Aeqium. Our people team, managers, and leadership found it very simple to use. Our CTO says it’s one of the easiest systems he’s ever used, especially for HR tools.

Elad Shafran
Head of People Operations at NEXT Insurance

We have far fewer questions about the process and more of a focus on applying the compensation philosophy for their employees, which is a marked difference from previous cycles. Our managers estimate they complete their reviews in half the time and that there are 90% fewer errors in the data.

Aeqium significantly reduced the risk, lost time, and frustration that came from running our compensation planning. It's been a true game-changer for us at Braze.

Isabelle Winkles
CFO at Braze

Aeqium is highly configurable and simple for admins and users. We reviewed other tools where you’d need to pay extra for a contractor to configure them. We wanted to handle the setup ourselves but have help when we needed it, and Aeqium made that easy.

Alex Greenwood

I love how configurable Aeqium is. It gives me the power to do anything I need to set up our cycle and match our process, and I love that I can make changes at any time.

Kristin Shenenberg

Aeqium saves us hours of work for our HR and finance departments, and it gives us the flexibility we need to feel completely in control. We're not forced into a certain way of doing things just because that's how the product was built.

Michelle Sieklucki

Aeqium has been really flexible in meeting our needs for our compensation cycles. It’s highly customizable, the configurations are easy for us to manage on our own, and customer service has been really, really excellent.

Angele Welch
Director of Total Rewards, Warby Parker

Aeqium has completely changed the way we do comp at Braze. It gives us a data-forward approach where managers feel confident about their recommendations and department heads can truly analyze the decisions being made. We have a very nuanced total rewards program, so Aeqium’s flexibility is key.
