Steps: Analyze Pay Equity

Steps: Analyze Pay Equity

You can analyze and report on pay equity for these areas: ethnicity, age group, and gender. You can set up either or both:
Pay Equity Discovery Board
The Pay Equity Discovery Board combines data from Staffing, Talent and Performance, and Compensation. It provides a starting point for your pay equity analysis.
The discovery board consists of 2 sheets, each with several visualizations:
  • Current Worker Data: Visualizations use the Workers for HCM Reporting indexed data source.
  • Compensation Events: Visualizations use the Completed Employee Compensation Events for HCM Reporting indexed data source.
Pay Equity Dashboard
Enables you to monitor and report on potential gender pay and equity issues.
  1. (Optional) Set up the Pay Equity Discovery Board.
    1. Access the Delivered Discovery Board task.
    2. Select
      Pay Equity
      , select
      Make a Copy
      , and save it in your Drive.
    3. Open your copied discovery board and select filters.
      As a best practice, Workday recommends that you select filters that limit the number of employees analyzed to less than 10,000.
    Workday updates indexed data sources and fields every hour.

      task.
    2. Set up a security group that is unconstrained and has access to these domains:
      • Pay Equity Dashboard
        in the Core Compensation functional area.
        Workday recommends that you consult with your legal team about access to sensitive pay equity data before adding any security groups to the
        Pay Equity Dashboard
        domain.
      • Person Data: Gender
        in the Personal Data functional area.

      • Worker Data: Performance Reviews
        in the Performance Enablement functional area.
      • Worker Data: Public Worker Reports
        in the Staffing functional area.
      Workday delivers the dashboard empty.
    3. Workday recommends that you add these reports to the dashboard, configured as worklets:
      • Average Compa-Ratio by Country & Gender
      • Average Compa-Ratio by Gender
      • Average Compa-Ratio by Job Family Group & Gender
      • U.S. Average Base Pay by Performance Rating & Gender
      You can also run these reports individually or use them to create custom reports.
