Salary ranges you can publish. Without guessing.
ValuGrade turns your job titles into a clear pay structure: grades, bands, a written pay-criteria policy and a ready sentence for every job ad. Pay structures, made clear. Built for employers with 5–100 staff.
Free preview, no account needed. Full report from €49, one time.
A clear minimum, midpoint and maximum built from your own pay data.
Four rules that affect every hire you make
Salary ranges belong in the job ad
Candidates must know the initial pay level or range before the interview. 'Competitive salary' is no longer an option.
No salary-history questions
You may not ask what a candidate earns now or earned before — not in the form, not in the first call.
Employees can request pay info
Any worker can ask for their pay level and the averages by sex for work of equal value. You have two months to answer.
It applies regardless of size
Only the gender pay gap reporting duty depends on headcount. Everything else applies to a five-person company too.
Three steps, about fifteen minutes
Score your roles
Add your job titles and score each one 1–5 on the directive's four criteria: skills, effort, responsibility and working conditions.
Get grades and bands
Roles are grouped into categories of work of equal value, and each grade gets a minimum, midpoint and maximum built from your own pay data.
