The pay zone manager allows customers to store their pay zones in the system. This makes managing and updating comp bands in different locations much easier.

Creating Pay Zones (From Jobs home page, click “Pay Zones” > “Create Pay Zone”)
Note: You should set up at least one pay zone. If you only have employees in one location, you can create a pay zone for “All” or “US” - having at least one pay zone will allow you to map your market data correctly to your pay zone and allow you to create new band sets for your jobs + pay zones.
Enter the Pay Zone details:
-
Name
-
Description (optional)
-
Grouping (optional)
-
Anchor Pay Zone & Geo Differential: Select if the pay zone is relative to another pay zone and by how much.
-
Pay Zone Rules: Set the logic for how Pave will match employees to the pay zone (metro, country, city)
-
Select whether you want to make this pay zone a catch all, meaning any of your metros, countries, or cities are not associated to a pay zone will be included in this pay zone. You can only have one catch all pay zone.
-
You will see employees in this pay zone populate on the right hand side.
-
Note: An employee or a band cannot be in more than one pay zone.
How to edit or delete your pay zones:
-
Click on the buttons to the right on the Pay Zone page.
By adding or deleting a pay zone, you will receive an alert in your band manager with an option to add or delete bands for this this pay zone. See here.
If adding or updating the pay zone, you will also need to update the benchmarks in the Market Data Mapping. The easiest way to do this is using a CSV upload.
-
The template includes your payzones. Add the survey providers’ locations based on how they map to your pay zones (exactly as they are represented in the surveys), for example:
-
Weighting: If you weight multiple locations from a provider to your pay zones, you can use the weight column to blend those levels together. To do so, copy the row for the pay zone you want to weight and fill out the pay zone and weight column.
Specifying jobs in each payzone
You can specify which jobs exist in a specific location when setting up your pay zones. This allows you to only benchmark and generate bands for those specific jobs in those pay zones.
In Pay Zone Manager, select if this pay zone has All Jobs or just Specific Jobs in it
- All jobs- means all of your jobs in Job Manager exist in this Pay Zone. Every combination of ladder + pay zone will be created in the Benchmarking table and bands for all jobs + pay zones will be created when generating bands from market data.
-
Specific jobs- will allow you to select from your function, family, ladder, and track to specify the groups of jobs that exist in that pay zone You can create groups with an OR or AND relationship.
- Only the specified ladders in that pay zone will be created in the Benchmarking table.
- Only those specified jobs in that pay zone will have bands created when generating bands from market data.
Adding pay zones and adding bands for those pay zones
If you add pay zones in Job Manager and you want to create bands for these pay zones in your existing band set, you will see a notification in the upper right of the page:
-
If this pay zone is an anchor pay zone, meaning other pay zones are relative to it, you can download a csv and add in values for bands in this pay zone.
-
If this pay zone is relative to an another pay zone, you can either upload pay values or add empty pay values and create values for these bands using the “snap to pay zone edit” which applies the differential off of the anchor pay zone
