Performance Ratings in Comp Review

Performance ratings — along with base salary compa-ratios — help Kamsa calculate recommended salary increase guidelines and the overall compensation review budget.

Customizing Performance Ratings

You can customize your performance rating labels in the Company Profile page.

How to Upload Performance Ratings

1. Go to the Comp Review Management page.

2. Click Upload Performance Ratings to download the template.

3. Fill in the file with:

   • Employee ID

   • Employee Name

   • Performance Rating

   • Rating Effective Date (when the manager gave the rating)

4. Upload the completed file back into Kamsa.

   • Once uploaded, the performance rating button will turn green.

   • Hover to see the upload date.

Why It Matters

• You can choose to base merit increase guidelines on:

  • Compa-ratio only (used for employees with "Unknown Rating")

  • Or Compa-ratio + Performance Rating (recommended for more precise budgets)

• Uploaded ratings are factored into the budget for Salary and/or Equity Reviews.

  • But changes made after the review starts won’t affect the budget, so make sure the data is accurate before starting.

• Employees without a rating will default to the “Unknown Rating” guideline.
