AxiomIA Pay Equity vs Figures

AxiomIA Pay Equity is web-based software for HR leaders and compensation teams to analyze pay gaps and document compensation decisions. Its adjusted analysis accounts for factors such as role, tenure, and location to identify unexplained differences; unadjusted analysis shows raw pay differences between groups. Listed data inputs include HRIS/HCM, ATS, market data, and work signals. The product provides explainability and approval workflows, and requires appropriate approval before compensation changes are executed. Approvals are recorded in an immutable ledger. Users may override recommendations if they provide justification, with the recommendation, rationale, and override retained in the audit trail. Each analysis can generate a reproducible proof pack containing a PDF, data snapshot, policy versions, approval trails, and an evidence manifest. Benchmark connections include Radford, Mercer, WTW, and Payscale, and custom data can also be ingested. Security features include SSO, enforced MFA, and role- and attribute-based access controls. US and EU hosting are available, with data kept in the selected region. Pricing is on request.
