What is Equal Value Compliant Pay?
- Most organisations strive for fairness when attracting, motivating and retaining staff, while remaining in full compliance with legal requirements.
- But implementing those requirements can be a considerable undertaking. Particularly when there is a legacy of inequality, which may be embedded in pay structures.
“1970 Equal Pay Act: it is unlawful for employers to discriminate between men and women in pay and conditions where they are doing: the same or similar work; work rated as equivalent in a job evaluation study; or work of equal value.”
(‘Sex discrimination and equal pay’, http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/)
We can help you to…
- Develop an overall strategic approach to addressing compliant pay; and
- Understand the job measurement aspects of the process.
The process
- The advice currently available often favours technical compliance and meeting equality policy goals. But we think this can lessen the focus on fairness.
- Instead, we suggest a well-managed change process, to enable and fund equal value pay.
The Ways Job Family Allocation Tool © can help to…
- Avoid a mass job evaluation exercise while adhering to the principles of equal value compliant pay.
- Step one: the allocator assesses the most appropriate Job Family for a job to be assigned to.
- Step two: the allocator uses his or her knowledge of the job to analyse it against the predetermined critical factors that differentiate between each Job Family level.
- Step three: the allocator then decides upon the most appropriate Job Family level, allocating the job to the corresponding role profile for that level.
