The problem

Accountable pay in a private-sector market.

  • You compete with finance for the same people

    IT, HR, finance and engineering professionals often have private-sector options. Knowing the gap is the first step to managing it.

  • Scrutiny needs evidence

    Pay decisions are questioned by boards, staff representatives and the public. An old survey or a UK comparator does not hold up.

  • Pay structures move slowly

    Grades and pay scales are reviewed on fixed cycles, while the private market keeps moving in between. Seeing each level against the market shows where the pressure is building.

How PayPulse helps

Evidence that stands up to scrutiny.

  1. Your peers, or the private market

    Filter to other public sector and utilities employers where the pool is deep enough, or widen to the whole island market to see what the private sector pays the same skills.

  2. Compensation Competitiveness Index

    One score that says where your pay sits against the market, where 100 is the market median, broken down by level and job family.

  3. Pay gap readiness

    Overall and per-level gender pay gaps, a pay equity heatmap and a report-ready summary, ready for when the question is asked. Readiness, not legal advice.

  4. Board-ready exports

    Take the analysis to the board or remuneration committee as a deck-style PDF, one chart per slide, or export the numbers as CSV.

Questions

Asked before every demo.

Can we compare against the private sector?

Yes. Filter to public sector and utilities employers to see your peers, or remove the filter to see the whole island market, including the private employers you compete with for skills. Results only show when enough organisations sit behind them, to protect anonymity.

Will other organisations see our salary data?

No. Contributions are anonymised and aggregated. You see the shape of the market, never an individual salary or an identifiable organisation, and no result is shown unless several other employers sit behind it.

Does PayPulse tell us what to pay?

No, and it should not. PayPulse shows you where the market sits for a role and level. Where you position pay against that evidence stays your decision.

Which markets do you cover?

Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, each benchmarked as its own market and refreshed periodically as new data reaches the pool.
