Blog post from Unified.to
Unified's HR & Directory API offers a streamlined approach to compensation analysis across multiple HRIS platforms by providing a normalized Employee model that circumvents vendor-specific data fragmentation. This model includes consistent structures for employee identity, employment status, and compensation components, allowing for seamless extraction and analysis of compensation data without hardcoding vendor assumptions. By using this API, developers can retrieve and filter active employees, normalize compensation frequencies, and aggregate data to compute totals and averages in a currency-safe manner. The API facilitates real-time access to current compensation data and supports policy-controlled normalization, enabling comprehensive FP&A, HR analytics, and pay-equity analysis. The guide outlines steps to set up a project, initialize the SDK, and perform compensation analysis, emphasizing flexibility in extending functionalities such as grouping by demographics or adding benefits for total-rewards analysis.
