Preparing for pay transparency starts with knowing which jobs to compare.

Preparing for pay transparency starts with knowing which jobs to compare.

Before you can explain differences in pay, you need a consistent way to compare jobs of equal value. Then you need to connect those jobs to your payroll data and investigate the gaps. For a small HR team, that can become a substantial project.

Before you can explain differences in pay, you need a consistent way to compare jobs of equal value. Then you need to connect those jobs to your payroll data and investigate the gaps. For a small HR team, that can become a substantial project.

You need expertise you don’t have in-house.

Job evaluation and pay equity analysis are expert work. Consultants are expensive, and most software assumes you have a Rewards team to run it.

Your data isn’t ready.

Job descriptions are missing or out of date, titles have multiple variants, and payroll data is messy. Pulling it together in spreadsheets takes months, invites manual error and goes out of date quickly.

It doesn’t end with the first report.

Employees can ask about pay at any time, new jobs need scoring, and reporting comes round again. A one-off project won’t keep you compliant.

One platform to organise jobs, analyse pay and document your approach.

Stage 01 · Building your job architecture

Every job evaluated

Match your jobs to pre-scored library profiles, create company-specific profiles where needed and review the categories used for pay comparison.

Stage 02 · Analysing pay

Pay gaps identified & analysed

Upload your payroll data and we’ll help you map it. See pay gaps by job category, and explain any gap of 5% or more using an approach that suits your company’s size.

Stage 03 · Meeting your ongoing obligations

Ongoing compliance

Answer employee pay requests, evaluate new jobs as you hire, and keep track of reporting deadlines. Update jobs and rerun your analysis when new pay data is available.

How it works

Step 1

Upload your job titles and payroll data

Upload your job titles and payroll data

Export a spreadsheet from your HR or payroll system and upload it. SkillsTrust checks how every column maps before anything is imported. You can start without a complete set of job descriptions.

Why SkillsTrust?

Why SkillsTrust?

Small & medium businesses shouldn’t need a Rewards department to comply with pay transparency rules.

Small & medium businesses shouldn’t need a Rewards department to comply with pay transparency rules.

There’s a better way. Here’s how SKILLSTRUST compares.

Spreadsheets

The default DIY route. It means drowning in a massive sheet trying to link every job description, job evaluation score, and payroll record. Version control is a nightmare, keeping data fresh is a full-time job, and sharing sensitive salary files securely is nearly impossible.

Big 4 Consultancies

The premium route. They bring excellent expertise but cost a fortune and take months to deliver. Worse, when the project ends, that knowledge leaves with the consultant—leaving you stranded when the next reporting cycle rolls around.

System Add-ons

HR System Add-ons

The bolt-on route. Another module to buy, with the hardest work still left to you. These tools often assume you already have a job architecture and the Rewards expertise to run it. Most generalist HR teams have neither.

The guided route. Start with job profiles we’ve already evaluated. Review the fit, handle exceptions and analyse pay in the same platform, with optional implementation support.

Built on a recognised job evaluation method

Built on a recognised job evaluation method

Every job is evaluated using the point-factor method, developed by the European Institute for Gender Equality. The job profiles in our pre-scored library were prepared by human job evaluation experts. You start from their work, not a blank page.
