This is a comprehensive overview of the reward letter functionality in Pequity, detailing the process from template creation to final delivery. It is intended to aid company admins in effectively using this feature during the implementation process or active compensation cycles.
⚒️ Building Reward Letter Templates
Pequity Reward Letter Templates are customizable based on your individual branding, design, and copy. Below are best practice steps for ensuring your Comp Cycle Reward Letters are setup accurately and efficiently before your cycle closes.
- Template Samples
To make setup fast and easy, provide the Pequity Technical Implementation team with any letter templates or samples of previous reward letters. The team will use these to help create a custom reward letter for your comp cycle and capture all data placeholders and details you'd like to include based off your cycle. - Naming Conventions
Specify if any unique naming conventions (e.g. EID, lastname, firstname, etc) need to be followed for upload into your HRIS or other systems. - Confirmation
Pequity will ask you to review all template copy, placeholders, logos, and signatories are accurately incorporated during the Template QA.
Once templates are created, they will be available for testing in QA to ensure all details are correct and the appropriate templates are being used.

💭 Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Planners download the letters in bulk as well?
- Currently, only company admins have this ability.
- Alternatively, we can set the naming convention of the letters to include the manager/ planner to easily group them after being downloaded.
- Is there a way to let the planners know that the letters have been generated in the app?
- The Pequity tool has the ability to send notifications out once groups/ waves have been enabled. We don't have the functionality to notify planners once the letters have been generated just yet! Informing them that the cycle has been ended and letters are available are best communicated internally.
