# Compensation Data Analyst

**Folder:** Human Resources / Compensation & Benefits Manager / Data Analyst

## What does it do?

Comp decisions need real analysis: pay-equity deep dives by group, merit-budget modeling, the relationship between pay and attrition, offer competitiveness.

This agent does it: it translates the comp question into the right analysis, runs it, and explains the finding with a recommendation — so total-rewards decisions are evidence-based.

## Benefits

- Real answers to comp questions.
- Pay-equity deep dives on demand.

## Recommended setup
