What is EANE Peer/Payscale?

EANE Peer/Payscale is an online compensation data collection platform that EANE is partnering with to provide even more reliable and valid compensation data to our members. The EANE Peer Platform that our members have access to allows for compensation benchmarking on over 5,000 jobs with both regional and national data. Because this platform is a more robust resource it will replace our annual Southern New England Compensation Survey.

How do I get access to EANE Peer?

Organizations will have to submit data and purchase access in order to get access to the EANE Peer platform.

Does this replace partnering with the EANE Compensation Consulting Team?

No.  EANE Peer is replacing our Southern New England Compensation Survey and is just a single source of compensation data.  For compensation or market pricing engagements, EANE’s compensation team puts together a comprehensive report utilizing multiple data sources. Depending upon the project, EANE’s team will use Peer as one source. When making important decisions that will impact your business, it’s important that you utilize multiple sources of data.  EANE Peer is a great resource for data, but it’s only one data point and not sufficient for a full market analysis.  We recommend utilizing at least three different market sources to ensure that you are accurately capturing the market for your role.  Further, our team helps you develop your full compensation program including your philosophy, structure and ensuring pay equity.  

Is EANE Peer free?

Submitting your data for EANE Peer has no fee. Gaining access to the EANE Peer platform with all of the data after participation does have a cost. The Annual subscription fee for EANE members is $350 This pricing is exclusive to EANE members. Normally, Payscale Peer retails for close to $6,500 per organization per year.

How “real-time” is EANE Peer’s data?

EANE Peer’s data is refreshed daily with eligible data available to enter the common data pool. Payscale holds data entered for 90 days from the effective date before adding it to the larger database to meet DOJ’s antitrust guidelines. So you may not see compensation data entered on a particular day but you will see the freshest data that is in line with antitrust guidelines. You will always see your organization’s current data through your portal.

Can you compare your data to direct competitors?

Yes! One of the reporting options in EANE Peer allows you to select other organizations by name that you want to use to create your market average. This is a great option to make sure you are looking at averages and being competitive with data from your business rivals. Please note: You’ll need to choose a minimum of five (5) competitors.

How can I protect my data if you can select specific organizations’ names for data comparison?

EANE Peer’s report is in line with DOJ antitrust guidelines. When choosing competitor names to create your average, you will have to select a minimum of 5 organizations in order for the report to be run. If you try to run the report multiple times in order to back into a specific organization’s compensation data, your account will be flagged and reporting halted. There is also a dominance diffusion threshold, that if an organization’s data makes up too large of a percentage of the average, the report will require you to add more organizations to reduce that impact.

With these protections in place, no other participant in EANE Peer will be able to see or access your specific data.
