Frequently Asked Questions
What does Essentials do?
Essentials provides continuous pay equity monitoring, global pay gap reporting, EU Pay Transparency Directive readiness, and proactive risk alerts. It centralizes your compensation data and replaces annual audits with always-on visibility into where pay is aligned to policy and where it's drifting.
How is Essentials different from running a pay equity audit?
A pay equity audit is a point-in-time snapshot. By the time it runs, the gaps it finds are months old. Essentials monitors continuously, surfacing misalignment in days or weeks rather than waiting for the next audit cycle. Customers report 70%+ reductions in remediation costs because issues are caught before they compound.
Does Essentials cover EU Pay Transparency Directive requirements?
Yes. Essentials includes built-in EU Pay Transparency Directive (EUPTD) readiness, including pay gap reporting, Right to Information response generation in all EU official languages, and the documentation infrastructure required to meet the directive's burden-of-proof requirements.
How quickly can Essentials be implemented?
Most customers are live in weeks, with measurable compliance insights in the first 30 to 60 days. Syndio's implementation team handles data ingestion, system integration, and initial configuration.
What systems does Essentials integrate with?
Essentials connects to major HRIS platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and others through Syndio's Data Hub. Live integrations keep your compensation data current without manual spreadsheet consolidation or reconciliation.
Do I need Essentials before I can use Decisions?
Essentials establishes the governance and compliance foundation that Decisions builds on. Most organizations start with Essentials and expand into Decisions as they move from monitoring and compliance to real-time governance of individual pay actions.
