Why is a figure blank or "Too few people to show"?

How Evenpay's privacy thresholds and minimum group sizes hide figures, and where each is set.

Evenpay hides figures about small groups so that individual employees can't be identified from them. Several features have their own minimum. This article lists them in one place.

Where

Minimum

Set in

Pay equity analysis

20 employees for an analysis to run

Fixed

Pay gap alerts

Minimum Group Size, default 2, never below 2. Groups with only one gender are skipped.

Settings → Pay equity & transparency → Pay equity alerts

Pay gap figures for groups

5 employees per group, or 10 with Stricter privacy thresholds on

Settings → Pay equity & transparency → Pay gap calculation

Pay information reports

Anonymity Threshold, default 5 (2–50). The gender breakdown also needs enough women and men in the group.

Settings → Pay equity & transparency → Pay information requests

Pay gap reports

Minimum group size for reporting; groups with fewer than 2 of a gender are also hidden

Report Settings panel

Home Pulse and performance trends

Follow the thresholds above

—

What you see

  • Too few people to show on Home.

  • A dash (-) in reports.

  • A hidden gender breakdown in a pay information report.

  • A message that the comparison group is below the anonymity threshold when you handle a pay information request.

What you can do

  • Check that employees have the fields used for grouping, so groups aren't split unnecessarily.

  • Use broader criteria only when the employees still form a valid comparison group for the question you are answering. Do not combine unrelated jobs merely to reveal a suppressed figure. A hidden figure is not a zero pay gap. See Work of equal value groups.

  • Don't lower thresholds just to see figures: they protect your employees' privacy.

Good to know

In an organisation with entities, an entity can require larger groups than the group, never smaller ones. The stricter value always applies.
