BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: PayScale
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
PERSON REQUESTING: Jill Scott
DATE: 2/19/2025
Brief Description of the Problem/Issue:
Weld County requires a comprehensive and integrated solution for compensation data, market comparisons,
and strategic decision -making. The revised compensation structure from the recent compensation study
demands a reliable platform to ensure competitive salary offerings, accurate market comparisons, and smooth
integration with Workday for seamless data transfer. PayScale is the ideal solution, offering expert consultation
hours, strong customer support, and full integration with Workday, ensuring accurate data and continuous
support during implementation and beyond.
Three Vendors Reviewed:
1. PayScale: Offers comprehensive market database, expert consultation hours (included in the price),
seamless Workday integration, and strong customer support. This platform aligns with Weld County's
needs for accurate compensation comparisons and ongoing strategic compensation management.
2. Salary.com: Offers compensation data but lacks expert consultation, Workday integration, and local
support. The platform provides some tools but does not fully meet the needs of Weld County's
compensation strategy.
3. Culpepper: Focuses only on providing data without a software platform or Workday integration.
Culpepper does not offer the full scope of support and functionality required by Weld County.
Options for the Board:
• Approve PayScale to support and maintain Weld County's compensation strategies and budget
process.
• Do not approve PayScale, which would limit the County's ability to effectively maintain and support its
compensation strategy.
Consequences:
Without the appropriate tools and resources, Weld County risks falling behind in the labor market, hindering
our ability to maintain competitive compensation packages. This would also jeopardize our strategic goal of
becoming an employer of choice, as we may struggle to attract and retain top talent without a reliable
compensation management system.
Impacts:
Having the right resources to support and maintain the compensation structure is essential to the continued
smooth operations of Weld County. The PayScale platform will help ensure that our compensation strategy
remains effective, accurate, and aligned with both market standards and Weld County's long-term goals.

Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
The total cost of this project, which includes market database access, uploading our compensation structure,
integration with Workday, and expert consultation hours, is $28,000 annually. This cost has already been
captured in the 2025 budget, and no additional funds are needed. The implementation fee has been waived,
but we need to sign the agreement by February 28th to proceed.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approving the use of PayScale as the chosen vendor. This solution ensures that Weld
County's compensation strategy will be effective, aligned with current market standards, and ready for the
2026 budget season. PayScale's combination of expert consultation, seamless Workday integration, and
strong customer support provides the essential tools needed for successful long-term compensation
management.

support the Account, and will control creation and assignment of usernames and passwords to Users. Customer is

third party (other than Users) to access or use the Payscale Services; (b) create derivative works based on the

accordance with applicable Documentation, this Agreement, and applicable laws. Customer's failure to meet these
requirements may impact Customer's ability to use the Payscale Services, including, but not limited to, suspension

4. DATA RIGHTS AND USAGE
4.1 Customer Data. As between Payscale and Customer, Customer exclusively owns all rights, title, and
interest in and to all Customer Data, except where specific rights are expressly granted to Payscale. During the Term
and subject to this Agreement, Customer grants to Payscale a license and right to host, access, process, display,
copy, transmit, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use Customer Data solely to the extent necessary
to: (a) fulfill its obligations to Customer under this Agreement, including to maintain, evaluate, and secure the
Payscale Services; (b) develop or improve the Payscale Services (including as outlined in Section 4.4 below); and
(c) research and report on compensation trends, so long as all such usage is (i) deidentified so that it does not
identify Customer, its Users or any other person and (ii) aggregated with data across other customers. Customer
shall not provide to Payscale sensitive data that is not necessary for Payscale to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, such as social security numbers or other government identifiers, credit card numbers, bank account
numbers, other financial information, or health information.
4.2 Payscale Data. As between Payscale and Customer, Payscale exclusively owns all rights, title, and
interest in and to all Payscale Data, except where specific rights are expressly granted to Customer. Payscale may
use Payscale Data for any purpose in its sole discretion.
4.3 Usage Data. Customer agrees that Payscale may collect data and other information related to Customer's
use of a Payscale Service (e.g., number of reports run, frequency of log -ins, and searches made by Customer)
("Usage Data"). Usage Data shall not include customer compensation data. Payscale will not disclose Usage Data
externally unless deidentified so that it does not identify Customer, its Users or any other person and so long as it is
aggregated with data across other customers, or as expressly provided in this Agreement (i.e., in response to a
regulatory request).
4.4 Payscale Data Services.
(a) Aggregated Data. Customer agrees that Payscale may use Customer Data stored in the Payscale
Services (e.g., compensation ranges and job titles) to produce an aggregated data source ("Aggregated Data").
PAYSCALE CONFIDENTIAL Page 3 of 11
Docusign Envelope ID: ABDF2566-D9FE-4DDE-BD9F-ADDFEB3B6221
Customer Data is aggregated, deidentified and validated before being included in Aggregated Data. Aggregated
Data does not include personal information. Aggregated Data may be used in multiple Payscale Data Services,
combined with other data including Third Party Data, and segmented into specific data cuts (e.g., by number of
employees, geographic location). Payscale will impose technical and contractual limitations, as required by
applicable law, to prevent Customer Data from being individually identified or reverse engineered.
(b) Participation. Payscale Data Services that include Aggregated Data rely on the accuracy of the
data contributed by Payscale customers. Customer agrees to regularly update and maintain the accuracy of
Customer Data as provided in this Agreement and the Documentation. Customer agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Payscale to answer questions and to correct any identified problems, omissions, or errors. Customer agrees
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, its name may be listed as a participant and
available to others as a part of the Payscale Data Services; this includes being selectable when creating a data cut
for Payscale Data Services that offer such functionality. Customer must contribute Customer Data to the
Aggregated Data or pay a non -participation rate in order to receive a Payscale Data Service containing Aggregated
Data. Customer will have access only to the Payscale Data Services listed on the applicable Order Form.
(c) Opt -Out. Customer may opt -out of contributing to Aggregated Data at any time by providing
Payscale at least 45 days' prior written notice, at which point Customer's data and name will be removed at the
next version release or update of the Payscale Data Services. If choosing to opt -out during the Term, Customer
shall no longer have access to Payscale Data Services (except where Customer and Payscale agree to a non -
participation rate) and shall remain obligated to pay the fees committed to in the Order Form. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Customer understands that Aggregated Data provided before Customer's opt -out will remain a part of
the versions of the Payscale Data Services previously released and Customer's name will remain included as a
participant for such versions.
4.5 Reservation of Rights. Payscale retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Payscale Services (and
any modifications or derivative works), including all underlying software, source code, data (other than Customer
Data), design, modules, organization, format, algorithm, and other technology, and all logos and trademarks
(excluding Customer logos and trademarks) reproduced through the Payscale Services. This Agreement does not
grant Customer any intellectual property rights in the Payscale Services or any of its components (including
Payscale Data).
4.6 Feedback. Customer may submit suggestions, enhancements, requests, corrections, or other feedback
related to the Payscale Services but shall not include Customer Data ("Feedback"). Customer agrees that all
Feedback is given voluntarily, and subject to Section 13.4 (Publicity) below, Payscale may use, profit from, disclose,
publish, keep secret, or otherwise exploit Feedback, without compensating or crediting Customer. Feedback will not
be considered Customer's Confidential Information or its trade secret.
5. Third Party Services.
5.1 Third Party Services. In the event Customer has contracted directly with a Third Party Service and
requests Payscale include Third Party Data as a part of the Payscale Services, Customer hereby grants to
Payscale the right to use, load, host, copy, access, store, display, or otherwise process the Third Party Data solely
to provide Customer the Payscale Services. Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all necessary
rights to authorize this usage by Payscale. Further, Customer consents to Payscale contacting the applicable Third
Party Service to verify Customer's purchase and agrees to provide a proof of purchase as may be reasonably
requested by Payscale. In the event a Third Party Service reasonably disputes Customer's right to Third Party
Data, Payscale may remove such Third Party Data from the Customer's Account. Third Party Data is not owned or
controlled by Payscale, and Payscale does provide any warranties with respect to Third Party Data. Payscale does
not guarantee the ability to support all Third Party Data.
5.2 Payscale Integrations. Payscale may enable or make available Payscale Integrations on a non-exclusive
basis to allow Customer to integrate a Payscale Service with a Third Party Service. Customer understands and
agrees that the development, maintenance, use, and performance of a Payscale Integration are dependent on the
compatibility, format, and performance of the Third Party Service to allow the Payscale Integration. Customer
understands and agrees that by using a Payscale Integration, Payscale may pull, collect, access, provide or share
data with the Third Party Service as necessary to enable, maintain, support, and improve the integration between
the Payscale Service and the Third Party Service. Third party integrations not developed by Payscale may be
PAYSCALE CONFIDENTIAL Page 4 of 11
Docusign Envelope ID: ABDF2566-D9FE-4DDE-BD9F-ADDFEB3B6221
utilized in some circumstances, and Payscale disclaims any warranty and cannot guarantee the functionality or
security of such third party integrations.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1 Term; Auto -Renewal. The Term starts on the date Customer agrees to its first Order Form and continues
until all Order Forms have expired or have been terminated as allowed under this Agreement. Customer's
Subscription Term to the Payscale Services are set forth in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise
specified in an Order Form, at the end of the then -current Subscription Term, Customer's subscription to a
Payscale Service will automatically renew for the shorter of (a) the same period agreed upon in the applicable
Order Form, or (b) three years (each a "Renewal Subscription Term") at Payscale's then -current list price unless:
(i) Customer provides written notice of non -renewal to Payscale at least thirty (30) days before the start of a
Renewal Subscription Term; or (ii) Payscale provides written notice of non -renewal to Customer at least sixty (60)
days before the start of a Renewal Subscription Term.
6.2 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate this Agreement (and all Order Forms) or a specific Order
Form by written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and, if the breach is
capable of cure, fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after the notice is sent (notice must include specific
detail of the breach). If Customer terminates this Agreement or an Order Form due to Payscale's material breach,
then Payscale will refund Customer the prepaid Annual Subscription Fee applicable to the remainder of the
terminated Payscale Services' Service Year, prorated from the effective date of termination and Customer will not
be liable for paying fees due for the unused portion of the remaining Subscription Term. If Payscale terminates this
Agreement or an Order Form due to Customer's material breach, Payscale will not refund any amounts paid by
Customer and Customer remains liable for payment of all fees due under this Agreement.
6.3 Effects of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) any amounts
owed to Payscale under an Order Form before such termination or expiration will be immediately due and payable
except as provided in Section 6.2 above; (b) Customer must discontinue all access and use of the Payscale
Services and promptly delete all copies of Documentation and Payscale Data, however, de minimis usage of
Payscale Data post -termination is permitted only where required as support for a compensation decision made
during the Subscription Term, but in no event may Payscale Data be used for any new benchmarking or other
activities post termination; and (c) Payscale will discontinue providing Customer the Payscale Services and
Customer will lose access to the Account. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination or expiration
will do so (including payment obligations, indemnification and defense obligations, limitation of liability, and duties of
confidentiality). For the avoidance of doubt, the term "de minimis internal use" means review or reference to
compensation reports and analyses based on Payscale Data that were prepared during the Term. Customer shall
retain all ownership rights in any derivative works of Customer Data where Customer Data is not deidentified and/or
aggregated with other information. At any time during the Subscription Term, Customer may export Customer Data
stored in the Payscale Services in accordance with the Documentation. Payscale shall delete Customer's Account
and Customer Data following termination, subject to its record retention policies.
7. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PAYSCALE SERVICES
7.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Fees are quoted in United States dollars unless
specified otherwise in an applicable Order Form. Payment obligations are non -cancelable and fees paid are non-
refundable except as set forth in this Agreement.
7.2 Invoicing and Payment. Unless otherwise agreed upon in an Order Form: (a) Annual Subscription Fees will
be invoiced in full and in advance annually; and (b) for other amounts due to Payscale under this Agreement,
Payscale will invoice Customer in advance and in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated
in the Order Form, undisputed (in good faith) invoiced charges are due thirty (30) days after the date Payscale
provides the invoice to the email provided by Customer to Payscale. Customer will provide Payscale complete and
accurate billing and contact information and will notify Payscale of any changes to this information. If any undisputed
(in good faith) invoiced amount is not received by Payscale by the due date, then without limiting Payscale's rights or
remedies, (i) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, (ii) Payscale may suspend Customer's access to the
Payscale Services and stop providing any Professional Services. Payscale will not apply late interest or suspend

Docusign Envelope ID: ABDF2566-D9FE-4DDE-BD9F-ADDFEB3B6221
thirty (30) days past the due date set forth above, Payscale may refer collection of the unpaid amount to an attorney or
collections agency , and Payscale shall not be obligated to reinstate Payscale Services.
7.3 Taxes. Customer is responsible for any applicable taxes, including sales, use, levies, duties, or any value
added or similar taxes (collectively, "Taxes") payable with respect to Customer's order of Payscale Services
assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign jurisdiction. Unless expressly specified otherwise in
any Order Form, all fees, rates, and estimates exclude Taxes. Payscale is solely responsible for taxes based upon
Payscale's net income, assets, payroll, property, and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer is
exempt from Taxes, concurrently with execution of this Agreement Customer shall provide Payscale with a
certificate evidencing such exemption. If Customer's status as an entity exempt from Taxes changes during the
Term, Customer shall promptly notify Payscale.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 Meaning of Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means all
confidential information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether
orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential
given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Customer's Confidential Information
includes Customer Data. Payscale's Confidential Information includes the Payscale Services and Documentation.
Confidential Information of each party will include Order Forms, as well as business plans, technical information,
product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. Confidential Information will not
include any information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed
to the Disclosing Party, (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without
breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any
obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of,
or reference to, the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
8.2 Standard of Care. Except as otherwise permitted in writing by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party will (a) use
the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of like kind (but
in no event less than reasonable care), (b) not disclose or use any Confidential Information of Disclosing Party for
any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (c) limit access to Confidential Information of Disclosing Party
to those of its employees, contractors, advisors, and agents with a need to know or who need access for purposes
consistent with this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent to those in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
reasonably necessary (a) in connection with applicable open records laws that Customer is subject to and (b) to
potential investors, acquirors, or regulators who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent to
those in this Agreement.
8.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information if
required by applicable law or to comply with a court order or other governmental demand that has the force of law if,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of that obligation
prior to production so the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other remedy.
8.4 Remedies. Each party acknowledges that damages may be an inadequate remedy if the other party
violates its obligations under this Agreement, and each party has the right, in addition to any other rights it may
have, to seek injunctive relief without any obligation to post any bond or similar security. No failure or delay by
either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. Other than as
expressly stated in this Agreement, the remedies provided in this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive
of, any other remedies of a party at law, in equity, or otherwise.
9. DATA PROCESSING AND PROTECTION
9.1 General Requirements. Payscale will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical
safeguards for the protection of the security and integrity of Customer Data as set forth in the Security Addendum

workaround within thirty (30) days of Customer notifying Payscale of the defect, then Customer may terminate the
applicable Order Form for material breach in accordance with Section 6.2 above. Customer acknowledges that
Payscale Services are subscription -based and that to deliver an improved customer experience, Payscale may
make changes to Payscale Services (but any such changes will not result in a material degradation in or decrease
in functionality of the Payscale Services). In such event, Payscale will update applicable Documentation

all of its decisions regarding compensation, salaries, and benefits regardless of its use of Payscale Services and
Customer is encouraged to conduct independent due diligence and seek the assistance of a qualified legal
professional in connection with such decisions. Payscale and its licensors do not warrant the access or use of
Payscale Services in any specific situation or for ary specific application, nor do they warrant that Payscale Data
accessible through a Payscale Service will be always accessible (provided that this shall not excuse Payscale from
its obligations in Section 3.1 of this Agreement) or that it will be accurate or error free. Customer acknowledges that
Payscale provides the Payscale Services to its customers to permit them to make independent decisions regarding
benefits and compensation. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed under
applicable law, the Payscale Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," and neither party makes any
warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, and each party specifically disclaims all
implied warranties, including, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non -

Subscription Fee for the unused portion of the applicable Payscale Service's Service Year, prorated from the
effective date of termination. Payscale's obligations under this Section 11.1 with respect to any Third Party Claims

Payscale in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any modification made to a Payscale Service by Customer, its

willful misconduct.
11.2 Indemnification by Customer. Subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Section 11, at its
expense, Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Payscale against any Third Party Claim arising out of,

misconduct.

indemnify the other ("Indemnitee") under this Agreement, the parties shall comply with the following: (a)
Indemnitee must promptly inform Indemnitor in writing of any Third Party Claim within the scope of Indemnitor's
defense or indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement, provided that Indemnitor will not be excused from its
indemnity obligations for failure to provide prompt notice except to the extent that Indemnitor is prejudiced by any
such failure to provide prompt notice; (b) Indemnitor will be given exclusive control of the defense of such Third
Party Claim and all negotiations relating to the settlement thereof (except that Indemnitor may not make any
admissions on Indemnitee's behalf or settle any such Third Party Claim unless the settlement unconditionally
releases Indemnitee of all liability); and (c) Indemnitee must reasonably assist Indemnitor in all necessary respects
in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim at Indemnitor's expense. Indemnitor's obligations under this
Section 11 will be limited to the extent to which a court of final jurisdiction finds that Indemnitee contributed to the
Third Party Claim. If Indemnitee elects to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim that Indemnitor is
defending per this Section 11, then such defense shall be at Indemnitee's sole cost and expense. Unless otherwise
provided in the Documentation, this Section 11 states Indemnitor's sole liability, and Indemnitee's exclusive remedy,
