The People Data page helps you understand your workforce by tracking salary trends, role changes, and how employees compare to market benchmarks - all in one place. This guide will walk you through its key features, helping you make more informed and confident decisions.
Before you start
Make sure your HR and payroll systems are connected to LiveRem to view complete and accurate data. See the integration guide.
Employee List
Market Data View
Salary Band View
The Employee List compares your company's employee salaries to that of the market, and applies a 'Trust Score'.
The Employee List is displayed in a table format with the following details:
Status
Indicates whether the employee has been mapped to a LiveRem job title.
For review – Shown when the employee hasn’t been mapped yet or when their role or job title has changed after a resync.
Mapped – Shown once the employee has been successfully mapped.
Employee Name/ID
Displays the employee’s first name and last name and their unique identifier (Employee ID).
If displaying names is turned off in your Settings, only the Employee ID will be shown.
You can update this preference anytime in Settings > Organisation Details.
Job title
Displays the employee’s job title in your company, with the mapped LiveRem job title shown in brackets.
Department
Indicates the department the employee belongs to.
Market Position
Reflects how the employee’s salary compares to the company’s target percentile.
You can set your organisation’s target percentile in Settings > Organisation Details.
Based on this target, each employee is assigned one of the following positions:
Market Position | What It Means |
Way Below Target | Your salary is more than 15% lower than the target salary percentile |
Below Target | Your salary is 5% to 15% lower than the target salary percentile |
On Target | Your salary is within 5% higher or lower than the target salary percentile |
Above Target | Your salary is 5% to 15% higher than the target salary percentile |
Way Above Target | Your salary is more than 15% higher than the target salary percentile |
Pay
Shows the employee’s FTE equivalent base salary – that is, what they would earn if working full time. (This may be pro-rata if the employee is part-time.)
Compa Ratio
Compa-ratio shows how an employee’s salary compares to the midpoint of their pay band.
Compa-Ratio = Employee’s Salary ÷ Midpoint Salary
Market Positioning
Market positioning shows where an employee’s salary sits within the pay range.
It helps you quickly spot outliers and gives another way to evaluate employees against their pay band.
Market value
The benchmarked salary value based on market data.
Difference
Calculated as:
Base Salary – Market Value
Shows how far above or below the market rate the employee's salary is.
Search
Displays the job description dialog, allowing you to view and understand the role’s key responsibilities
Open Icon
Opens the detailed employee view, showing complete information such as pay band, market value, and positioning.
Trust Score
indicates the reliability of the market data available for each role. It reflects how much data we have behind each salary benchmark.
A minimum of 3 companies is required for a data point to be displayed.
The more data we have, the higher the Trust Score.
A 5-star rating means the role is backed by more than 80 data points, offering a high level of confidence in the market comparison.
This helps you assess how robust and trustworthy the salary benchmarks are for each role.
Search Employees
You can also search for a specific Employee by entering their Name or ID in the Search box.
This filters the list as you type.
Select Positioning
Click on the Positioning dropdown to choose between Market Data and Salary Band
Salary Band List
The Market Positioning shows where each employee’s salary sits within the pay range.
The box and whisker plot represents the salary distribution
25th percentile, median (50th), and 75th percentile are shown inside the box.
Min and Max values are shown as the line ends.
The colored dot marks the employee’s actual salary within this range.
Dot colors indicate positioning (e.g., below target, on target, or above target).
You can hover over percentile box of any record to see a tooltip with detailed values including minimum, percentiles, maximum, and the employee’s exact salary.
Select Market Position
You can change the list by selecting the target market percentile by clicking on the Select Market Position drop-down.
Select Department
You can filter the list by selecting the department by clicking on the Select Department drop-down.
Filters
You can refine your search by applying additional filters by tapping on Filter button
Edit Filters
Clicking on Edit filters drop-down menu opens up the Benchmark Filters pop up
Benchmark Filter
Adjust your search to find the most relevant results using four Benchmark filters:
Industry - compare roles within a specific industry
Company Size - filter by number of employees
Revenue - narrow results by company revenue range
Community - roles in specific community
Organisations - allows you to include or exclude non-profit organisations from your search
New hires only - view data from roles hired in the last 3 months

Save current filter
The Save Filter pop-up allows you to store your current search filters for quick and easy reuse later.
This is useful when you frequently run the same search and want to avoid reapplying filters each time.
Clear filters
Click Clear Filter to reset all selected filters
This will remove any applied criteria and display the full dataset

Switch between Pay Units
The Salary / Hourly toggle allows you to switch how compensation data is displayed in the Market Data table.
