Seniority, Simplfied.
SeniorityIQ gives HR directors and operations leaders an accurate, auditable, defensible seniority management system. Built for organizations where getting the order right isn't optional.
The Stakes
The cost of getting seniority wrong.
$15k-$50k per case
Average cost of a union grievance that reaches arbitration. Seniority errors are among the most common triggers.
Hours & days lost
Spent by HR staff maintaining seniority lists manually. Time that disappears into spreadsheets, email chains, and phone calls.
Zero records
The number of audit-ready seniority records most organizations can produce on demand when a grievance is filed.
Seniority determines who gets the shift bid, who gets laid off, who gets promoted, and who files a grievance.
When it's managed in spreadsheets, errors are inevitable. When errors happen, the burden of proof falls on you.
SeniorityIQ changes that equation entirely.
How it Works
One platform.
Every angle of seniority management covered.
Calculate
SeniorityIQ's rules engine supports seven ranking methodologies, configurable tie-breaker logic, and LOA accrual policies that match your CBA language. Your rules, enforced automatically.
Communicate
Every employee sees where they stand. Administrators have full visibility. Union representatives get the documentation they ask for. No more back-and-forth, no more printed lists that are already out of date.
Defend
Every change is logged, attributed, and timestamped. When a grievance is filed, you have a complete, immutable chain of custody for your seniority data going back to day one.
Core Features
Built for the way
Your seniority actually works.
The Seniority Engine
Seven ranking methodologies. Configurable tie-breaker rules. Multiple simultaneous ranking contexts for organizations that track seniority differently across divisions or job classes. LOA accrual policies that map directly to your CBA language, including full accrual for FMLA and military leave, partial accrual for workers comp, and paused accrual for personal leave.
This isn't a date sort. It's a rules engine built to handle the real complexity of how seniority works in unionized environments.
Complete Employee Records
Every employee record carries a complete history. Job class changes with effective dates. Status periods showing full-time, part-time, and leave segments. Leave of absence records with type, duration, and accrual impact. Point adjustments with reason codes and reference numbers for grievance settlements.
When a union rep asks why an employee ranks where they rank, the answer is in the record.
Reporting Suite
Thirteen report types covering every angle of workforce seniority. The 30-Day Snapshot packages the past month of workforce activity and the next 30 days of scheduled changes into a single print-ready document. Rankings exports are audit-ready with methodology explanations included for every employee.
Reports are generated in seconds, not hours.
Import System
A guided six-step import wizard handles bulk employee data via Excel. Validation runs before anything is written. A dry-run preview shows exactly what will change. Every import produces a downloadable PDF summary report stored in your import history.
Onboarding an organization of 600 employees takes minutes, not weeks.
Access for All Employees
Every employee in your organization gets read-only access to see where they stand. Their overall rank. Their rank within their job class. Their profile. The full directory. Accessible from any device, any time.
No more calls to HR asking where someone ranks. No more printed lists that are three weeks out of date. Your workforce has the information they're entitled to, always current, always accurate.
Exclusive to seniorityiq
What happens to seniority
when the rules change?
Before SimLab, that question required manual recalculation, multiple spreadsheet versions, and a lot of guesswork.
SimLab is a what-if simulation engine built directly into SeniorityIQ. Select a scope, adjust accrual rates, change the as-of date, and run. In seconds, you see every employee who would move, in which direction, and by how many positions.
Considering a CBA change that modifies part-time accrual rates? Run it in SimLab before you agree to it. Want to see what your list looks like six months from now? Project forward and see exactly where you land.
No data is modified. No changes are saved. SimLab is a read-only sandbox for exploring the implications of policy decisions before they become binding.
See every mover
A ranked table shows current position, proposed position, and delta for every employee in scope. Green rows moved up. Red rows moved down.
Understand the impact
Summary metrics show how many employees are affected, average movement magnitude, and a tenure band breakdown showing which experience groups are most impacted.
Save and compare scenarios
Store up to 20 named scenarios for side-by-side policy comparison. Export scenario data for documentation or negotiation preparation.
Comparison Tool
Ranking decisions
with real explanations.
When a union steward questions why Employee A outranks Employee B, the Comparison Tool gives you the answer in plain language.
Select any number of employees. Apply the active ranking methodology. Get a ranked result with a natural-language explanation of exactly how the ranking was determined and how tie-breaking logic was applied.
Bring it to the meeting. The documentation speaks for itself.
Security & Infrastructure
Your workforce data deserves
infrastructure built for it.
SeniorityIQ runs on dedicated infrastructure. Your organization's data lives in its own isolated database, completely separate from every other organization on the platform. There is no shared database, no commingled data, no possibility of cross-tenant access at the architecture level.
Every administrative session requires two-factor authentication. Every action is logged in an immutable audit trail. Every night, a full database backup runs automatically and uploads to encrypted offsite storage. Point-in-time restore is available on demand from the platform admin panel.
