This guide describes how to create a new Pay Equity Analysis in Sysarb, step by step. Follow the steps in order – you can always go back and edit a step before clicking Create in the final step.

1. Click on the Pay Equity tab in the left menu.

2. Click on New pay equity audit in the upper right corner to create a new pay equity analysis.

Here you enter the basic settings for the pay equity analysis.

1. Enter a name for the pay equity analysis under the Title heading.

2. Select from which date the pay equity analysis should apply.
​
💡 Tip: You can also use the date when you exported data from your payroll system.

3. Do you want to do a comparative job analysis? In the comparative job analysis you analyze salary differences between female dominated jobs against non-female dominated jobs with same or lower grade. This analysis is meant to spot gender discrimination between jobs.
​
⚠️ Swedish legal requirement: This analysis must be included in your pay equity analysis (lönekartläggning) under the Swedish Discrimination Act.
​

4. How thorough an analysis do you want to conduct? To meet the Swedish legal requirement and the EU Pay Transparency Directive, select Standard – the option that is already pre-selected and recommended.

5. How do you want to calculate the average pay gap? Select which central measure should be used in the analyses. According to the EU Pay Transparency Directive, the mean pay should be explained or addressed – this option is therefore recommended.

5. Click Continue at the bottom right.

⚠️ Important: The Continue button is only activated when all fields are filled in and all choices made.

🔬 Upcoming feature – How do you want to analyse equal work? (autumn 2026) If you have activated the Analyse equal work feature under Labs, an additional question will appear in this step. Select the recommended option "I want to use expected salaries to find unjustified differences". The feature is activated under the Labs settings – read more in the guide Activate Labs.
