Question 1

Benchmarking Integrations

Accepted Answer

Pave operates under a give-to-get model. This means that participating companies who share their HR data will unlock ongoing, free access to Pave’s anonymized, real-time benchmarking portal.

Opt-in to the anonymized data network by integrating your company's HRIS and/or Cap Table systems.

Below are the systems Pave integrates with:

HRIS/Payroll

ADP
BambooHR
CharlieHR
Collage
Deel
Gusto
Hibob
Justworks
Namely
NetSuite HCM
Paylocity
Rippling
Sapling
TriNet
Ultipro
Workday
Zenefits

Cap Table

Carta
Shareworks
Pulley
eTrade

There are two types of data that Pave collects, anonymizes, and distributes:

Real-time salary and variable cash data for current and past employees. This is usually found in an HRIS solution like BambooHR or a payroll solution like ADP.
Equity data. This is usually found in a cap table solution like Carta but sometimes exists in HRIS solutions like BambooHR or Workday.
Total compensation consists of both cash and equity, so integrate your HRIS/Payroll and your cap table system to get the full value of Pave's benchmarking data.

Question 2

Creating an Account

Accepted Answer

As a Candidate or Employee

Total Rewards or Visual Offer Letter Portal

To view an offer letter as a candidate or your total rewards as an employee, you’ll need to create a Pave account. To create a Pave account, navigate to the Pave portal at app.pave.com.

Once you navigate to the portal, create an account that is associated with the email address the employer has for you -- if you are an employee, that is your work email address. Note that the password must be longer than 8 characters, have at least one upper and lower case character and one special character.

If your email address on file with the employer is a Google account (or Google hosted account), you can use the “Sign in with Google” option, found on “app.pave.com/signup” login to create your account.

If you are an employee creating an account, and your email is different than the email address on file in the company’s HR systems, you may be asked to link another email address with the account:

Alternate Email Verification

Once you create an account, an email verification will be sent to that account with the subject “Verify your email for Pave”. If you do not see it within one minute, check your spam folder. Verify your email address by clicking the button in the verification email, at which point a new window will launch and you will be logged in. If a window does n

Question 3

Logging In

Accepted Answer

Overview

If you haven't created an account with Pave yet, create an account before trying to log in.

To view an offer letter as a candidate or your total rewards as an employee, you’ll need to log into your company's Pave portal at “app.pave.com/signup”.

To access Pave's Admin portal, where you can set up integrations, manage merit cycle compensation changes or generate visual offer letters, you'll need to log in to Pave Admin. The URL for Pave Admin is "admin.pave.com".

If you get an error or a blank screen when attempting to log in, ensure the email address you are using to log in is (1) the primary email address your company has for you (if you are a recruiter, it should be the same email you use in your ATS; if you are an employee it should be the same email you would use to log into your payroll/HR system), and (2) is the same email address you used when creating an account.

Using Google

If the email address you signed up to Pave with is a Google account (or Google hosted account), you can use the “Sign in with Google” option. You may be prompted to confirm your identity via Google.

You can use the “Log in with Google” option regardless of whether you created an account via the “Log in with Google” option, or the email and password option, so long as the account is h

Question 4

Benchmarking Job Levels

Accepted Answer

Pave's benchmarking platform allows you to get a real-time pulse on compensation benchmarks for offer letters, equity grants, and merit cycle decisions.

Most companies use market data to determine their employees' compensation. It is therefore essential to correctly assign and tag the role levels and role families at your company, as this enables us to match your roles to other companies' roles for accurate calibration.

Definitions

Role Family - this is the function a role is a part of, often discernible by the department or team this role falls in at your company.
Role Level - this is how senior, experienced, and the scope of responsibility that the role covers.
Role Track - this is the determination of whether the role is a Professional, Manager, or Support

Pave's Leveling Schema

Pave’s leveling schema is designed for companies of all sizes. Below is how Pave’s schema compares to Radford and Advanced HR. The schema is easily matched to Radford and Advanced HR so that the market data can stay current and accurate to what you might already be using.

How do titles relate to the Pave leveling schema?

Titles describe both what a role is responsible for and how senior it is. Just like how you’ve decided to name your conference rooms, often the titling structure is unique to a company’s culture. This is why we use other sources of qualitative and quan

Question 5

Issues seeing equity grants in Total Rewards portal

Accepted Answer

Why can't I see my equity in the Total Rewards portal?

Your equity grant will appear in Pave once it has been uploaded to Carta. It may take a few weeks after you begin work at a new company for them to start this process. Here's what's happening:

The board has to approve your grant. This normally occurs at the first board meeting after your start date. Depending on the cycle in which your company conducts board meetings, this could occur during your first week or later.
**Your grant has to be uploaded in Carta. **Once the board approved your grant, it has to be uploaded into Carta. This process can take time and varies by company.
You will see your grant in Carta!
You will see your grant in Pave! Once your grant is in Carta, you will be able to see it in your Pave Total Rewards portal.

If you aren't seeing your grant, confirm that you have access to Carta and that your grant is visible there. If you confirm this and still can't see it, please reach out to your manager or email support@pave.com.

Question 6

Data Collection and Aggregation

Accepted Answer

What data does Pave collect as part of the Compensation Benchmarking integration? Is data anonymized?

Benchmarking

When integrating your systems to gain access to our benchmarking product, we collect the following information: email, name, title, department, location, and compensation details like cash and equity. The email, first name, and last name fields are necessary to link data between the HRIS and cap table system. Title, department, and location are used to place the employee into an individual benchmark.

All of this data is aggregated and anonymized before being added to the benchmarking dataset. To eliminate the risk of revealing data for an individual company or employee, we only show results for a data slice if the sample size is larger than 3.

Carta

Carta is the most popular cap table system that we integrate with to access equity information. In Carta, we are granted the Company Viewer role. This role gives us permissions to all pages under the account except for Settings and Access (under Company) and Expense Accounting (under Compliance). Company Viewers can also download all reports.

We pull historical valuations and fully diluted shares so that we can value the grants. Additionally, we pull the Vesting Details report and the Equity Ledgers report. You can read more about Carta permissions here.
