Calibration and increments
Calibrate ratings on a 9-box, release results, decide increments and send them to Dexta Pay.
Updated 15 October 2026
What you’ll do: agree final ratings across teams, release them, and turn increment decisions into new salaries.
Who can do this: HR and leadership calibrate. Managers recommend increments. Leadership decides them.
Calibration
- In Dexta Growth, open Talent, then Calibration, and click New session.
- Open the session. Use the Distribution, 9-box, People and Evidence checks tabs.
- Move people on the 9-box where needed. Each move asks for a reason, kept in the Trail.
- Click Lock calibration and confirm.
- Click Release and confirm. People see their final rating, not the increment.
Increments
- Manager: in each review, fill in the Increment recommendation: Increment (%) and Why, then Save recommendation.
- Leadership: open Talent, then Increments. Type each decided percentage (use Set several for many at once) and click Save decisions.
- Click Lock decisions and confirm.
- Click Send to Dexta Pay, set New salaries from and confirm. Or choose Only make the file to send it another way.
Good to know
- Only people with leadership access see Increments. Anyone else sees Only leadership decides increments.
- A locked session can be unlocked with a reason.
