Pay Information Requests
The Pay Information Requests settings page controls how employee pay information requests are handled in Evenpay — from the portal employees use to submit requests, to how reports are generated and what they contain. Navigate there via Settings → Pay Information Requests.
For a full guide on the pay information request process itself, see Employee Right for Knowledge: Handling Pay Information Requests in Evenpay.
Portal Access
Each Evenpay organization has a unique portal URL that employees use to submit pay information requests. Share this link with your employees so they can submit requests directly — no Evenpay login required.
Use Copy Link to copy the URL to your clipboard, or Open to preview the portal as employees see it.
Approval Workflow
Controls how incoming pay information requests are reviewed before a report is sent to the employee.
Approval Strategy — three options:
Strategy | Behavior |
Auto-approve all requests | Reports are generated and sent automatically without HR review |
Manual review required | Every request must be reviewed and approved by HR before the report is sent. This is the default. |
Risk-based (auto-approve low risk) | Low-risk requests are auto-approved; higher-risk ones require manual review |
Cooldown Period (days) — the minimum number of days that must pass before the same employee can submit a new request. Default is 90 days. This prevents repeated requests in a short period.
Link Expiry (hours) — how long the secure report link remains valid after it's delivered to the employee. Default is 24 hours. After expiry, the employee would need to request a new link.
Comparison & Privacy
Comparison Strategy — determines how the comparison group is selected for each employee's report:
Strategy | Behavior |
Auto (position, then equal value) | Uses position-based comparison first; falls back to equal value positions if the position group is too small. Default. |
Position-based only | Only compares employees in the same position |
Equal value positions only | Always uses the broader equal value group |
Anonymity Threshold — the minimum number of employees required in a comparison group before pay data can be disclosed in the report. Default is 4 (minimum 2 males and 2 females). If the threshold isn't met, gender pay comparison data is hidden from the report to protect individual privacy.
Report Display Period — whether salary values in the report are shown as monthly or annual amounts. Default is Monthly.
Show Comparison Point — when enabled, the report shows the employee's position within the comparison group (e.g. where their salary sits relative to peers).
Pay Calculation
Calculation Basis — the salary figure used as the basis for the pay information report. Default is Current Contractual Gross Salary.
Report Blocks
Report blocks control which sections appear in the employee pay information report. Toggle each block on or off, and drag to reorder them. The report is built from the blocks that are enabled at the time a request is approved.
Block | Default | What it shows |
Position Summary | On | Employee's position title and department |
Position Description | Off | Description, requirements, and skills for the employee's position |
Position Evaluation | Off | Job evaluation scores and dimensions from the evaluation framework |
Pay Band | On | Visual salary range with employee position vs group statistics |
Salary Components | On | Gross monthly, annual, hourly, and component breakdown |
Pay Factors | On | Factors that determine the employee's pay (level, experience, location, etc.) |
Salary History | Off | Timeline of salary changes showing compensation evolution |
Gender Comparison | On | Gender-based salary comparison (subject to anonymity threshold) |
Job Grades | Off | Job grade framework and level information |
Company Pay Gap | Off | Organization-level gender pay gap statistics |
Comparison Details | Off | Comparison group methodology, job evaluation framework, and work of equal value definition |
Pay Philosophy | Off | Factors the organization considers when determining compensation |
