Role evidence
Use real job content: skills, responsibility, effort, working conditions, authority and scope. Titles help navigation, but they must not decide the band alone.

ACLASA MethodologyA clear method for comparing work fairly
This page explains the method in the way a client needs to hear it: what work is being compared, why the comparison is fair, how the ACLASA band is assigned and how the country rule is added afterwards.
One classification rule: TalentAccess.pro and ACLASA.pro use one shared method. The same role profile must follow the same ACLASA factors, score path and band across the portfolio; local country rules add obligations, not a second classification.
The order matters
Work evidence first. Band next. Country rule after that.
01Describe what the role actually does.
02Compare it through neutral factors.
03Apply the right country rule.
Method in plain language
From a job description to a decision people can review
ACLASA avoids black-box decisions by showing the chain of evidence. The role is described, scored, grouped and then connected to the country requirement.
Factor comparison
Compare work through gender-neutral factors and subfactors. The point is not to make the method mysterious; the point is to make it reviewable.
ACLASA band
The band groups work of comparable value. Seniority only counts when there is evidence of broader responsibility, complexity or decision power.
Country rule
Slovakia, Italy, Lithuania, Finland and every other country can add local obligations without changing the core method.
Shared TalentAccess catalog
3,173 role profiles make the method tangible
The downloadable catalog turns the method into concrete roles. It gives clients a practical bridge between TalentAccess product language and ACLASA pay-transparency work.

What must not decide the result
No shortcuts dressed up as methodology
The final band must not be set by title alone, current salary, negotiation history, years of service alone or an ISCO code alone. A manager label also needs evidence: decision authority, scope, accountability and real leadership responsibility.
Job evidence → Factor score → ACLASA band → ISCO or local code → Country rule
AI can help draft and check later, but sensitive work and pay decisions need human review and an audit trail.
One classification rule
The same role must not receive two ACLASA answers
ACLASA can localise language, legal duties and reporting outputs by country. It must not create competing role classifications for the same work profile. If the evidence is the same, the factor logic and ACLASA band stay the same.
Same factor logic
A role profile from the TalentAccess catalog uses the same ACLASA factors and subfactors when it appears on ACLASA.pro.
Same band path
The score and band are not re-invented by page, language or country. Exceptions need documented evidence and version control.
Add duties, do not rewrite the role
Slovakia, the US, Italy or Finland can change what must be reported, but not the core value classification of the same role.
One source of truth
The catalog, calculator, tracker and TalentAccess product should point to the same methodology message.
Review path
The same method supports small firms and global employers
A small employer can use the public explanation and files. A global employer can add country-specific materials, local language versions, refreshed sources and exportable evidence from the same base.
Understand the duty
Plain steps, downloadable files and a map that shows which country rule matters.
Prepare the evidence
Role groups, bands, criteria, exceptions and pay-gap explanations stay connected.
Check the local rule
The tracker and country rules library show status, sources, deadlines and actions.
Compare countries
English exports let central teams compare local versions without losing local meaning.
