Anyone running compensation model in excel for couple hundred employees and expect 100% accuracy?

100% accuracy against what?

Few models demand 100% accuracy - but calculating paychecks is one of them

Despite the frequency of change, this handleable with a well-structured model. Obviously no idea what you're facing but will take a guess at some structural points
- Have separate input tabs for each pay contribution (e.g. one for base, one for commission structure 1, comm structure 2, etc)
- If those structures vary inputs (e.g. % of sales goes from 15% to 10%), on those tabs, used named ranges to define the date e.g. "pcsales202409"
On your calcs tab have columns that define which part of the model apply to that person. Use INDIRECT to pull what you need.
Can then easily reassign someone to a new structure, and change the level/model of that structure seamlessly

Not referring to commission schedules, that would be easy to deal with.

Am I being paid competitively? I have been the Onboarding Sup for my HR dept for over a year now and I’m being paid the state min for salary, which for CA is 62,400. I have not gotten a merit raise since the last 2 January’s, the state raises the threshold for salary folks. My company says that was my raise. Is this right? I bring a background from the clinical operations of my company, scheduling, field work, and what the average employee faces. I want to look else where but I’m not sure.
