Compensation management built for the UK market

UK compensation teams are being asked to do two things at once: benchmark accurately in a market with its own currency, job architecture, and reporting calendar, and get ahead of a regulatory bar that's rising fast, from gender pay gap reporting to the equality action plans coming into force under the Employment Rights Act. Pave is the modern solution for compensation management, with a complete platform for pricing jobs, running merit cycles, and communicating total rewards across your UK and global workforce.

Why now?

The new UK compensation landscape

Gender pay gap reporting has been mandatory for UK employers with 250 or more employees since 2017 — but the bar just moved higher. Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, employers will need to publish equality action plans alongside their gender pay gap data, with voluntary publication encouraged from April 2026 and mandatory compliance expected from 2027, and the government has signalled it intends to extend reporting to ethnicity and disability pay gaps too. At the same time, many UK-headquartered companies aren't just facing domestic rules: if you employ people in the EU, the EU Pay Transparency Directive now applies to those employees directly, layering pay-range disclosure and pay-equity obligations on top of UK requirements. The comp function is being asked to move from an annual reporting exercise to a defensible, always-current pay equity story — one that has to withstand public scrutiny, not just a filing deadline. Pave changes that.

Why Pave?

One platform for your entire compensation ecosystem

Eliminate spreadsheets and disconnected point solutions by creating a fully integrated compensation ecosystem for your UK workforce — and any global teams alongside it — built to work alongside Workday, SAP, and the tools your business already runs on.

Every pay decision is built to be defended

Give your HR team, People leaders, and finance leaders the data and insights they need to make confident, consistent compensation decisions — and the documentation to back up your gender pay gap reporting and equality action plans when they're made public.

Purpose-built AI for expanded data coverage

Stop sacrificing coverage for relevance. Pave's AI-powered market pricing fills gaps and addresses irregularities in UK-specific survey data, including roles and locations outside London where traditional benchmarks are thin.

The comp foundation to grow and scale

Whether you're building a job architecture for the first time or preparing for equality action plan requirements and expanding pay transparency rules, Pave gets your programme structured and ready.

TTHE PAVE AGENT

Ask anything. Get a defensible answer in seconds.

When your CHRO wants to know how a business unit's gender pay gap compares to last year before it goes public, or a People Partner needs to check whether a UK role is priced consistently with its EU equivalent before an offer goes out, waiting on an analyst isn't an option. The Pave Agent is your AI compensation analyst — it reasons across your real-time data, your pay philosophy, and your reporting obligations to recommend an answer, complete with data sources and confidence levels you can take to leadership. It delivers the analysis; your team makes the call.

SALARY BENCHMARKING

Real-time benchmarks,
no surveys required

Connect your existing HRIS, EMS, or ATS systems and gain access to real-time compensation benchmarks across 295+ job families and 170+ locations, including the UK. Pave's data is sourced continuously, not on an annual cycle, so you're always pricing against what the market is doing today, not what it was doing 14 months ago.

MARKET PRICING

Price any job,
anywhere in the world

Getting salary ranges wrong in either direction is costly — and harder to defend when your gender pay gap figures are public. Pave's Market Pricing blends data across sources at the job family level and resolves gaps with AI-powered Auto-Smoothing, so you can build pay ranges for every role that hold up to scrutiny from your board, your employees, and the EHRC.

COMPENSATION PLANNING

Fully automated merit cycles

Spreadsheets weren't built for comp planning, especially when you're coordinating pay decisions across UK and global teams under different reporting regimes. Pave replaces them with structured workflows, role-based permissions, and real-time budget guardrails, so every cycle is delivered on time, on budget, and with a full decision record.

TOTAL REWARDS

Communicate pay, retain top talent

When employees don't see the full picture, they undervalue what you're offering — and they're increasingly likely to compare notes now that pay secrecy is under pressure across the UK and Europe. Pave's Total Rewards Portal gives every employee a dynamic, always-current view of their complete package, including a preview into future earning potential.
