Parmetra
Parmetra is a web platform for EU employers and HR and compliance teams managing pay-transparency obligations.
What Parmetra is
Parmetra is a web platform for EU employers and HR and compliance teams managing pay-transparency obligations. It calculates mean and median pay gaps across an organization and by work category, flags the 5% joint-assessment trigger, and exports regulator-ready snapshots. Its point-factor system evaluates jobs on skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions to group roles of equal value using objective, gender-neutral criteria. Employers can publish compliant salary ranges in vacancies and record the prohibition on salary-history questions. Employees can request average pay by sex for their category, with a two-month response clock tracked in the platform. Optional AI drafts job-valuation criterion scores from a position title, but a person determines each score. Parmetra supports all 24 official EU languages. Growth includes Personio synchronization and salary-history tracking. The privacy policy says workforce data is stored in the EU, primarily in Frankfurt, encrypted in transit and at rest; personal data is not used to train AI models. Workspaces are invitation-only and set up by the team.
