Logib

Overview

Logib is a free web application for employers assessing equal pay and reviewing pay practices. Provided by Switzerland’s Federal Office for Gender Equality, it suits organizations that want structured analysis without a software fee. Its two modules cover different workforce sizes, but the required spreadsheet workflow may be a hurdle for teams that cannot use a supported spreadsheet application.

Key features

Logib offers two distinct approaches. Module 1 uses semi-logarithmic OLS regression to assess gender-related pay differences while accounting for personal and job-related characteristics; it is technically usable from 50 employees. Module 2 uses analytical job evaluation and is suitable for 2–49 employees, with analysis possible from as few as two. Employers should select the module that fits both their workforce size and the method they need, rather than treating them as interchangeable options.

Results combine interpretation guidance and recommendations with a summary, a gauge-style display and a tender self-declaration document. Users can download analysis results as PDF and Excel files, which makes them easier to retain or use outside the application. The separate Logib pay system serves a related but different purpose: assessing job functions and their value, organizing pay grades and bands, and planning pay development.

Wage data stays in the employer’s browser until analysis, then is sent encrypted to the Confederation server and deleted after analysis. Results are not stored there, and no data is passed to third parties. That data handling may matter to employers evaluating where sensitive wage information goes, though it does not remove the need to prepare data correctly.

Logib’s FAQ advises using its supplied Excel template without changing its structure. Freeware spreadsheet applications may not reliably support uploads, so employers should use the template with a supported spreadsheet application if dependable uploads matter. The web app requires JavaScript and supports the latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.

Pricing

The Logib equal pay analysis and pay system plan costs nothing, billed free of charge. It includes Module 1, technically usable from 50 employees, and Module 2, suitable for 2–49 employees. There is no paid tier to unlock a larger workforce range in the plan, although the modules remain distinct in method and intended size. The plan includes audit reporting, with advanced statistical analysis; HRIS connectors are not included.

Platforms

Logib runs on the web and requires JavaScript. It supports the latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. Its Excel-template upload guidance makes spreadsheet compatibility a practical consideration alongside browser choice.

Who it's for

Logib is best suited to employers seeking a free, structured equal-pay analysis, whether they have two employees or a larger workforce. Organizations that also want to assess job functions, structure pay grades and bands, or plan pay development can use its separate pay system. It is less suitable for teams that cannot keep the supplied template structure intact or rely on freeware spreadsheet software that may not reliably upload files.

Support is free, but the helpline primarily handles technical malfunctions and operates only Wednesday and Thursday from 4–5 p.m. and Friday from 11 a.m.–noon. Employers needing broad or readily available assistance should account for those limited hours.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Two analysis methods cover different workforce sizes, including Module 2 analysis from as few as two employees.
• Pro: Results include interpretation guidance, recommendations and downloadable PDF and Excel files, not just a gauge-style summary.
• Pro: Wage data is transmitted encrypted for analysis, deleted from the server afterward, and not passed to third parties.
• Con: The supplied Excel template must retain its structure, and freeware spreadsheet applications may not reliably support uploads.
• Con: The helpline’s narrow service hours and technical-malfunction focus limit its usefulness for general support.
• Con: HRIS connectors are not included, which may make Logib a less natural fit for employers seeking connected HR workflows.

Verdict

Logib is a strong choice for employers who want free equal-pay analysis across small and large workforces, with two distinct methods and useful reporting outputs. Its careful wage-data handling and separate pay-system tools add value beyond the analysis itself. Look elsewhere if your team needs HRIS connections, flexible spreadsheet uploads, or support beyond limited technical help hours.
