Administrator

An administrator is the role that has access to everything in the system. The role can manage salary files, initiate and conduct mappings, and administer conversations and salary reviews.

Regarding the salary mapping module, an administrator can carry out all steps, from start to finish. At start-up, an administrator can upload a salary file, initiate a pay equity audit, select a factor plan, work evaluation, analyze, and document. An administrator can see all data in the system, such as personal identification numbers, salary, and organizational affiliation.

An administrator is the only one who can manage everything in the basic registry for start-up of all modules. For example, organization trees, conversation and performance templates, password distribution, and user management. The administrator is the one who can easily initiate and manage the entire salary review process and conversations that take place between managers and employees.

What an administrator can do:

  • Upload salary files and continue to keep the system up to date.

  • Manage all our modules.

  • Initiate and conduct pay equity audit.

  • Can prepare the basis for conversations so that managers can easily and efficiently prepare, conduct, and document directly in the system with their employees.

  • Initiate, manage, and follow up on salary review for managers.

  • Initiate, manage, and follow up on performance assessment for managers.


Operational administrator

The operational administrator is a role that is very similar to the administrator role in terms of pay equity audit. This role has access to changing, adding, and adjusting the same parts in the module. The difference is that the operational administrator can only do this based on the organizational affiliation it is assigned to. Additionally, this can also be limited to each audit. The role is thus fixed to one or more audits, which needs to be set up before start-up.

The operational administrator can thus carry out all steps in the audit for their organization. The key figures in the overview are shown for the administrator's selection of employment data, and the same goes for employment, factor plan, work, and analysis. The role has the right to comment and write analysis texts in the analysis section, but cannot finalize the work.

What an operational administrator can do:

  • Can manage and conduct pay equity audit in the system (Note, the specified audit).

  • Can group, evaluate work, analyze, and document in the system.

  • Does not have access to other modules or general settings for the system.


HR Business Partner

The HR Business Partner role is for those who need to analyze the entire pay equity audit. Therefore, they have access to both the organize and analyze tabs in the pay equity audit.

This role has the right to group employees to jobs, but not to change employment data. HR Business Partners cannot evaluate job or make changes to the factor plan.

The main purpose of the HR Business Partner role is, of course, to analyze the pay equity audit, both equal and comperative. As an HR Business Partner, you can therefore write comments and analysis texts for each work. In the role, you see employment data in the analysis.

This role works well in organizations where the person in charge of mapping needs the help of knowledgeable individuals in the organization for different areas or specific functions. The analyst role is suitable for those who need to supplement the analysis with people who have specific knowledge for a department/agency.

What can an HR Business Partner do:

  • Can analyze in pay equity audit.

  • Can document analyses for both equal and comperative analysis.
