Equal Pay

Easy in theory - tricky in practice. 

If you can remember one thing, make it this: You are allowed to pay people differently, but not because of their sex, race etc. And you will be paying people differently, but can you justify why? 

I can look at your pay and grading system and review it for possible bias. I often do this in consultation with unions. Then together we can identify hot spots, and develop an equal pay action plan. 

You need very particular experience to do an equal pay audit well. You need a good understanding of equal pay legislation, with a nerd-like experience in job evaluation. I have both, as I practiced law, and have also project managed the implementation of a range of job evaluation processes. 

I am also asked to assist with the implementation of job evaluation processes to make sure that they are fair, transparent, and that the subsequent design of grading systems is free from bias and capable of providing equal pay. 

If you're thinking about implementing job evaluation processes, or conducting and equal pay auidt, give me a call for a few pointers.
