Uploading Promotions for More Accurate Budgeting
Uploading a promotions file helps Kamsa calculate a more precise budget by applying promotion increase guidelines to identified employees.
How to Upload Promotions
Go to the Comp Review Management page.
Click Upload Promotions to download the template.
Add the Employee ID and Employee Name for employees you know will be promoted.
Upload the completed file into Kamsa.
The Promotions button will turn green once uploaded.
Hover to see the upload date.
Budget Impact of Promotions
Promotions uploaded before or during a review in Planning or In Progress status will affect the compensation review budget.
Promotions added manually after the review has started (inside the review screen) will not impact the budget.
Uploaded promotions trigger:
Automatic “Promotion = Yes” toggle in the review
Auto-filled New Kamsa Job Match (next level up in the same job family)
Updated Market Base Salary based on the new job level
Admins and reviewers should always double-check the job match — especially for moves to manager roles or different job families.
What If You Don’t Know Promotions Yet?
If you don’t have the list of promotions:
You can enter a Promotion Budget (% of Payroll) by country.
Kamsa will distribute this budget across all Comp Reviewers.
But whenever possible, upload known promotions — this ensures you’ve budgeted accurately and avoids surprises.
