Why we exist

An incentive plan is a promise.
Most companies can't prove they kept it.

Bonus and incentive plans live in fragile spreadsheets — hand-built by consultants, passed between files, patched every cycle. One broken formula, one mid-year hire, one disputed target, and no one can defend the number an employee is owed. Rewa replaces the spreadsheet with an engine that makes the payout provable.

Spreadsheets break quietly

Negative proration for a mid-year joiner, gates that contradict the plan rules — errors nobody catches until payout day.

Reward is high-stakes

Get a bonus wrong and you lose trust, invite disputes, and expose the company under pay-transparency rules.

No audit trail

When finance or an employee asks "how did you get this number?", a spreadsheet can't answer. Rewa always can.

What Rewa does

The engine that turns reward plans
into payouts you can prove.

Model any short-term incentive plan once. Rewa runs the whole cycle — and every step is traceable back to the rule that produced it.

1

Design the plan

Targets, weights, curves, gates — per role and entity.

2

Import people

Roster, hires, leavers, target changes.

3

Allocate & prorate

To the day — mid-year joiners handled correctly.

4

Score

Individual, company & 360 results, with approvals.

5

Run payout

Curves applied, banked amounts split out.

6

Report & export

Reconciled statements + payroll export.

How it works

Why teams trust the number.

Provable payouts

Every euro traces to a rule, every rule to a plan. When anyone asks "why this number?", the answer is one click away.

Handles the hard cases

Mid-year hires, leavers, target changes, disputes, multi-entity and multi-currency — the edge cases that break spreadsheets.

Deterministic math

The same inputs always produce the same payout — reconciled against a signed reference set on every change.

EU-native & compliant

Multi-tenant isolation, data hosted in Frankfurt, GDPR by design, and ready for the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Sits on your stack

Rewa is the incentive engine, not another HRIS. Import from what you already use and export clean payroll files.

Built with a reward expert

Designed alongside a practitioner who ran incentive plans for years — so the logic matches how reward actually works.

Our story

We built Rewa because reward deserved better than a spreadsheet.

Rewa started with a reward practitioner who spent years watching incentive plans — carefully designed on paper — fall apart in the spreadsheets meant to run them. Formulas that broke on a mid-year hire. Gates that contradicted the plan. Numbers no one could fully explain to the people they affected.

So we built the engine we always wanted: one place to model a plan, run the cycle, and produce a payout you can stand behind — line by line, rule by rule. Two people, based in Europe, building it in the open with the companies who feel this pain every cycle.

"A bonus is a promise. Our job is to make sure the promise and the payout are the same number — and that you can prove it."
— The Rewa team
Questions

The short answers.

What exactly is a short-term incentive (STI) engine?

It's the software that takes your bonus and incentive plans and actually runs them — allocating targets, prorating for hires and leavers, applying performance curves, and producing a reconciled payout for every employee, with a full audit trail.

Do we have to replace our HRIS?

No. Rewa is the incentive engine, not an HR system of record. You import people and results from the tools you already use, and export clean payroll files at the end.

How is this different from a comp benchmarking tool?

Benchmarking tools help you decide what to pay. Rewa makes sure what you promised is what actually gets paid — running the cycle and proving every figure.

Is it GDPR compliant and where is our data?

Rewa is built EU-native with multi-tenant isolation and data hosted in Frankfurt, and is designed to support EU Pay Transparency Directive reporting.
