Overview of rate comparison page
Objectives:
Get an overview of the rate comparison page in AllPay, which shows an employee's rate or salary compared with others in the same set of cost centers. This page can help determine appropriate and fair compensation for groups of employees, and it pulls from all historical rate and salary data that is in AllPay. You can examine the data as a graph and as a table. You can export the data in formats such as a CSV, PNG, or a PDF if you want to examine it further.
What's in this article?
An introduction of the charts and downloadable options on the Rate Comparison page.
💡Good to know: Because rate data is highly sensitive and underlies employee pay, the Rate Comparison page is not available to all AllPay users. There is a fail-safe in place to make sure that all non-admin AllPay users are explicitly denied rights to seeing this new page. (An admin is any user that has rights to alter other or their own AllPay user security profile.)
To grant rights to one or more users, make sure the Rate Comparison page is available to the user's role and use the User Management page to revert users to role default rights. You can also edit an individual user and check the box for Allow View on the Rate Comparison page.

Rate comparison tool
- Log into AllPay. From the dashboard, open the Employees menu and select Rate Comparison.
- On the Rate Comparison page, you'll see filters at the top to find an employee. You'll also see three default charts:
• Employee Pay Comparison Over Time: You can adjust the years viewed, whether the data is hourly or salaries, rate code, location, department, work code, and choose how many employees display.
• Time Since Last Rate Change: Choose the time type (days, months, or years) and the chart type (column or bar).
• Rates vs. Years of Service: Choose the time type (days, months, or years) and the data type (scatter or cluster).
AllianceHCM tip: Use the three-line icon at the top right of each graph to access options like viewing the chart in full screen, printing the chart, or downloading the chart. - Examine the data in the Employee Pay Comparison Over Time chart more closely by zooming into a time period. Click and hold your mouse in the chart where you'd like the time period to start, and then drag to where you'd like the time period to end.
Use the Reset zoom button to revert back to the original view. - At the bottom of the page, you'll see a table for Employee Rate Comparison Data. This table is exportable; click on the Download Data icon in the top right of the table to download a CSV.
