Find and fix pay gaps before they cost you.

PayQare uses the compa-ratio, an HR industry standard. For each employee, it divides their total compensation by the median of their position group. A compa-ratio of 100% means the employee is exactly at the median. It groups employees by comparable roles and analyses pay gaps by gender within each role group. Deviations beyond defined thresholds are flagged at three severity levels: within range (less than 15% deviation), needs review (15-25%), and probable inequity (more than 25%). This methodology, used by major companies and HR consultancies, provides a structured and repeatable approach.

When you upload a CV or LinkedIn PDF, PayQare uses AI to extract relevant data points: total experience, experience relevant to the target role, qualifications, and skill set. It then maps this profile against your existing compensation grid for comparable roles and suggests a salary range that maintains internal equity. If the candidate's expected compensation would create a gap with existing employees, the system alerts you before an offer is made.

PayQare provides the analytical foundation that regulators expect: structured pay gap analysis, compensation benchmarking by comparable role, and documented adjustment plans. Whether you need to comply with the EU Directive 2023/970, the UK Equality Act, US state pay transparency laws, or the Swiss Gender Equality Act, PayQare gives you the data infrastructure to identify gaps, document corrective actions, and generate the reports that regulators and employees may request.

Each company workspace is isolated at the database level using row-level security policies. Only users explicitly authorized by your organization can access your compensation data. All data is encrypted in transit via TLS and stored in SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. PayQare does not share, sell, or use customer data for any purpose other than delivering the service.

Enterprise platforms like Payscale, Mercer, or Radford are designed for organizations with hundreds or thousands of employees and carry corresponding complexity and cost. PayQare is purpose-built for companies with 5 to 200 employees who need structured pay equity analysis without a six-figure annual contract or months of implementation.

PayQare supports any currency for your salary data: EUR, GBP, USD, CHF, and more. The equity analysis is ratio-based and works identically regardless of currency. Billing is available in EUR, GBP, and USD. The platform interface is available in English and French, with German and Dutch planned. The methodology is aligned with pay transparency regulations in the EU, UK, US, and Switzerland.
