Pay Gap vs.
Pay Equity
Fair Pay Workplace does not simply address pay gaps. We provide analyses, resources, teamwork and certification to address pay equity on the whole. You see, there is a difference between the two, and to make a difference you’ve got to know the difference.
A pay gap is the difference in pay between two groups of people of different identities.
For example, Black women in America, across all professions, make 58 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. That’s a pay gap.
Pay equity means equal pay for equal work among individuals of all identities.
For example, take a role like customer service representative. If a company is practicing pay equity, that means every representative with the same general education and level of experience is paid the same amount — across every race, ethnicity, and gender, and their intersection. Equal work, equal pay.
Why Get Certified?
Why get certified as a Fair Pay Workplace? Our thorough, transparent methodology brings value to your organization in a few major ways:
Getting certified as a Fair Pay Workplace is more than good PR—it’s a distinction that has to be earned. You’ll instantly communicate to your employees, your industry, and the public that your brand is a thought leader, dedicated to making an impact on people’s lives and livelihoods in ways that really matter.
Your more crucial hires are looking for concrete proof of fair pay before they ever engage with you. Fair Pay Workplace certification is that proof; you’ll attract high-performing employees and build a culture that can retain them for the long term.
People make decisions on where to spend their money based on shared values. Being a certified Fair Pay Workplace can attract more engaged customers and give you a strong legal framework that can help you live out those values through times of company growth, transition and transformation.
