MENLO PARK, Calif. and WALTHAM, Mass., — Salary.com, the market leader in cloud-based compensation software and data solutions, today announced it has received a significant equity investment from Accel-KKR, a leading technology-focused private equity firm. 

Salary.com works with over 8,000 software subscribers and 60 million employees globally to make compensation transparent, fair and equitable. Salary.com has remained true to its founding mission to revolutionize how employees and employers manage compensation information and make decisions about what is equitable pay. The company’s innovation leadership continues with the recent introduction of the Plunkett Pay Equity Framework and the CompAnalyst® Pay Equity Suite, recipient of Ventana Research’s 2022 Digital Innovation Award for Human Capital Management.
