Pay transparency helps your organization take a step toward pay equity by standardizing how salary ranges display on job posts.
During the creation process, you can assign the rule to an office and provide an optional description that appears on the job post.
Job Admins are then prompted to enter a required pay range during the job post configuration. Alternatively, you can link the rule to a custom job field that'll sync the pay range on the job with the pay transparency rule. This increases efficiency and limits errors by streamlining the work for your Job Admins.
Note: Consult with your legal team if you have questions about local pay transparency laws and how it affects your organization, including recommended messaging to add to the job post.
Create a rule
New pay transparency rules are created on the Privacy & Compliance page (Configure icon > Privacy & Compliance)
Scroll to the Pay transparency section and click Configure.
Next, click Create a rule.
Complete the following steps to create a pay transparency rule:
Name the rule
Enter an internal name in the text field for the rule that's specific to the location (For example, "Remote - Eastcoast").
While you can create unlimited rules, each rule must have a unique name.
Select an office (optional)
Choose an office(s) from the dropdown menu if you want the rule to auto-populate on new job posts based in the correlating office.
Enter the pay input details
Add a description and title. These details can only be modified on this page and can't be updated from the job post.
Check the box link value to job custom field and select a custom field from the dropdown if you want to sync the pay details on the job with the pay transparency rule.
When you select this option, you can also elect to mark the value as not editable on the job post. This ensures updates to the pay range are done from a single source using the custom field.
Next, create additional pay inputs as needed by clicking Add another pay input.
Preview the rule
Click Preview rule to see what the rule looks like during the job post configuration, and what candidates see on the job post. Please note that this is a preview only. The currency and pay range can only be added during the job post configuration.
Click Save changes when done.
Edit a rule
To edit a rule, navigate to Configure icon > Privacy & Compliance.
Scroll to the Pay transparency section and click Configure.
Click the Pencil icon next to a rule.
Use the following actions to edit the rule:
Edit the pay input details
You can edit the name, which office(s) the rule applies to, and the pay input details including the description, title, and whether the value is linked to a custom job field.
Please keep the following in mind as you make changes:
| Change type | Note |
| Office | When you remove an office, the rule remains intact on existing job posts in that office. Job Admins and above can manually remove the rule from the job post. |
| Link to custom field |
When you mark the values as not editable, the rule overrides the existing pay range on the job post and replaces it with the custom field data. However, the values on the job post aren’t overridden if the custom field is empty.
Example: Your Job Admin selects a rule and enters $60K - $75K in the pay range, but this differs from the $65K - $80K pay range listed in the custom job field.
You later update the rule to make the value uneditable on the job post. This setting overrides the existing data and updates the job post to $65K - $80K since this value is connected to the custom field. |
Create additional pay inputs as needed by clicking Add another pay input.
Click Preview rule to view your edits. Then, save your changes when done.
Delete a rule
Deleting a pay transparency rule removes the pay details and descriptions from job posts where the rule is applied. Additionally, the deleted rule can't be applied to future job posts.
To proceed, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Delete rule.
Click Delete from the popup window to confirm the changes.
