GENERAL INFORMATION
Why are we asking for additional information?
Hearing that you would like us to deliver more insightful data
and analysis, we will gather more information from you. This
means that our online questionnaire and data pack will be
expanded to gather additional information.
Can Paynet clients choose not to participate in the Hay
Group Market Updates and Paynet Database Update?
We have signed a contractual agreement with you to provide
us with your updated remuneration and benefits information
yearly when the Paynet subscription was taken up. While
there are Paynet clients that chose not to submit their salary
information, they have agreed to pay a non-participant fee
amounting to three times our Paynet subscription fees.
