Creating pay band rules

Define pay bands with rules that match positions by family, level, location and more.

A pay band is the pay range for a group of jobs. In Evenpay, each band is a pay band rule: a range plus the dimensions that decide who it applies to.

Who can do this: Administrators.

Where: Compensation → Pay Bands.

Create a rule

  1. Select Add rule.

  2. Choose the Dimensions the rule matches on: Job Family, Job Level, Job Grade, Career Path, Position, Org Unit, Country, City, Worksite or Custom Field.

  3. Enter the band values: Min, Mid and Max, as monthly amounts. Each can be Static or Formula. A rule needs at least a min or a max.

  4. Set the Priority and, if useful, Internal notes. Notes are visible only to administrators, never to managers or employees.

  5. Choose the status: Active or Draft.

  6. Save.

Which rule applies

  • The most specific matching rule wins.

  • If two rules are equally specific, the one with higher priority wins.

  • A rule with no dimensions applies as a fallback for all positions.

Which pay counts

By default, the band compares against the components marked Include in Salary Band in Components & benefits. A rule can choose Override organization defaults for this rule to use a different set.

The pay bands list

  • Columns: Name, Dimensions, Band, Min/Mid/Max, Spread, Matched (employees and positions) and Status.

  • Band values out of order warns when Min, Mid and Max aren't ascending.

  • A Synced badge marks rules created from your HR system. They are overwritten on the next sync unless you edit them by hand.

  • Open a rule to see band fit (below, in band, above), a gender breakdown and the gender pay gap inside the band.

Archive or delete

Use Show archived to see archived rules. Archiving is safer than deleting: when you delete a rule, positions that used it lose their band.
