Wage & Compensation Webinar: Building Pay Equity Systems

Description

Building An Equitable Wage & Pay Compensation Program

Did you know that 49 of 50 states have enacted their own Equal Pay Act mandates since the federal law went into effect in 1963? For example, in Oregon, the Equal Pay Act went into effect in 2019 which states that every worker must receive equal pay for equal work and employees must be paid the same amount as other people doing comparable work (including wages, bonuses, benefits, and more).

The burden is on the employer to show how pay decisions are made under this law. It’s a good thing but requires detailed work to ensure our wage and compensation programs are clear, fair, defensible, and let’s not forget attractive and competitive to retain our top-notch talent. Phew!

Join HR Annie Consulting’s owner, Cindy Free, and Senior HR Consultant, Heather Wall, for this jam-packed webinar as they share an overview of tools and strategies to build an equitable wage & compensation program, and how we can support this critical work.

Session Highlights:

• Assessing your company’s pay philosophy, including the total compensation package you offer

• Determining the skills and experience needed to fulfill the functions of the jobs within the company

• How to source the current costs in the labor market for the positions

• Equity balance between each job or job category

• The financial ability of the company to pay for the jobs

• The ease of updating the structure over time

• Determining if you can do this internally or the benefits of bringing in a consultant to do this work
