PayAnalytics - July 2026 feature release notes

This article lists the updates made available to users in the PayAnalytics application in July 2026.

Pay transparency bulk export

We have added a new feature that helps you meet your obligations under the EU Pay Transparency Directive, specifically Article 7 (right to information): the bulk pay transparency report export. You will find a new Inform menu in the main navigation, containing the new Pay Transparency Export functionality.

From there you can generate a set of ready-to-share Excel reports for a selected group of employees, one report per employee, covering everyone who matches your chosen analysis and filter conditions.

Previously it was possible to view and export a pay transparency report for an individual employee, one at a time. Now you can generate reports for a selected group of employees in a single operation, significantly improving your workflow when you need reports for many people at once.

The individual pay transparency report remains available exactly as before. This new feature doesn't replace it; it adds efficient, bulk report generation on top, for managing report generation across many employees.

This new feature helps you achieve compliance through reports that are aligned with the EUPTD, and efficiency by enabling you to filter the scope and export only the population you need and generating reports for all employees in scope in a single operation, in a standardized format.

The Export list gives you an overview of all the Pay Transparency Exports you have generated, along with their details. For each export you can see:

• Name: name you have given to the export

• Dataset and Analysis it was generated from

• Employees: number of employees included

• File size of the download

• Status: In progress while the export is being generated, and Completed once it's ready to download

• Creation date and expiration date

Each export includes a Download button so you can retrieve it directly from the list, as long as it hasn't yet expired. Exports expire one month after generation, which lets you manage the lifetime of each download. You can also start a new bulk export at any time.

Generation time & file size

Generation is designed to scale from a single team up to your whole organization. As a rough guide, the table below shows the kind of processing time and download size you can expect at different volumes.

This is an note/information message.

These figures are indicative only, based on representative test runs. Actual generation time and file size will vary with your data, the filters you apply, and current system load, so please treat them as a general guide rather than a guaranteed service level. For very large exports, allow extra time and expect a correspondingly larger download.

Demo

Improved search functionality

We have improved how dataset and analysis search works: it now filters both datasets and the analyses nested inside them. This primarily improves the search on the main page, and the same behavior applies in other places across the platform where you search for an analysis.

Previously, searching for an analysis could return its parent dataset as a flat item you couldn't expand or select from, so the analysis you were looking for stayed out of reach.

In the application interface, the drop-down search now works from either direction:

• Search by dataset: type the name of a dataset to retrieve this particular dataset, together with the analyses associated with it.

• Search by analysis: type the name of an analysis to retrieve this particular analysis. Its parent dataset stays visible, and you also see the other analyses created on the same dataset, so related work is right there alongside your match.

This improvement helps you find the right analysis faster (matching analyses are displayed and selectable under their dataset) and see related work in context y surfacing other analyses built on the same dataset.

Demo

Clearer, consistent naming for worker categories

The same concept, grouping workers for pay gap comparisons, was labeled inconsistently across the platform, sometimes called a "group" and sometimes something else, which made the terminology confusing to follow. Wording has now been standardized so each concept has one consistent name throughout the platform. On the employee pay transparency report (both tabs, plus their print and Excel exports), labels now read "Employee category", "Category comparison", "Pay band positioning", and "Predicted compensation range". The run-analysis form and system settings have also been updated, including the exclude-groups option, the pay-gap target option, and the close-pay-gap-for-each-worker-category option with its sub-options. This is a wording change only. No calculations, data, or underlying behavior are affected.

Employee subgroup reflected in right to request reports

Under the EU Pay Transparency Directive, an employee can ask how their pay compares with others doing equal work, and that answer is only meaningful when it is measured against the right comparison group. In PayAnalytics, a pay equity analysis can be split into subgroups, which produces a parent analysis alongside a separate child analysis for each subgroup. Until now, opening an employee's right-to-request pay transparency report from the parent analysis always showed the parent view, even when the employee belonged to a subgroup that had its own child analysis.

We have made the report open on an employee's own child-subgroup analysis whenever one exists, so HR analysts and HR Business Partners see figures that reflect the employee's real comparison group rather than the broader parent population. Employees whose subgroup was not analyzed separately continue to open the parent report, so nothing changes where there is no child analysis. The result is a more accurate and defensible answer when an employee exercises their right to request pay information.
