Description
There are multiple reasons why one employee may be legally paid less than another but pay differences become problematic when they are influenced by gender, race or other characteristics. Although the gender pay gap is closing incrementally, pay parity between men and women still exists. There are three compelling reasons for companies to conduct equal pay analyses: Fairness, Talent strategy and RIsk Management. Ernst & Young’s three-phased approach to equal pay, EP3, uses advanced analytics to identify and quantify pay gaps that are attributable to gender, race or other protected characteristics rather than legitimate factors like production or performance.
