Frequently asked questions

Customers easily upload their data directly into the software via either an Excel file, .csv file or through an API connection to their salary system for those systems where that is available. The software converts the data into intuitive reports where you can easily view your salary structure, perform analyses and generate reports.

To run an equal pay analysis you need a dataset where your organization's employees are listed. Each employee needs to have:

• A unique Identifier (e.g. Employee ID)
• At least one demographic variable (e.g. Gender or Race)
• A grouping field (e.g. Job Role)
• A compensation field (e.g. Fixed Salary or Total Salary).

Any other variables that factor into pay can also be used when running an analysis (e.g. Hours worked, Number of direct reports, Performance, Education, etc.).

Our goal is to make fair pay measurable and achievable, irrespective of the size of the organization. That being said, an organization size of around 50 people is needed for the full utilization of all the software's capabilities.

Yes, we provide an API for external software to connect to the PayAnalytics software.

Yes. Our goal is to provide the best and most accessible tools possible to companies when it comes to analyzing payroll data, but we do provide companies with initial consulting and even further consultation if needed. Initially, it can sometimes be helpful to discuss how the employee data is structured, how to build an equal pay model as well as interpreting the results, how to review suggested pay raises and understanding the cost of closing any demographic pay gaps.

Yes, the system is currency agnostic and therefore works with any currency. If you would like to work with multiple currencies, you can define their exchange rates in the system. Then you can easily view your datasets and analyses in any of those currencies, independent of the original currency (or currencies) for the dataset.
