Our Story

Fair Pay Workplace began to fill a real need in the working world: a trusted and transparent measurement for organizational pay equity. As a nonprofit organization, we are driven by purpose and energized by our mission: an equitable future for all.

Our Mission

To dismantle pay disparities based on gender, race and their intersection using a set of transparent Rules and Standards developed by independent experts. At our core, we are champions of equal pay for equal work.

Our Vision

Today, for substantially similar work, marginalized groups are paid cents on the dollar for every white male counterpart.

An Asian woman makes 90 cents on the dollar that every white man makes.
White women, 82 cents on the dollar.
Black women, 63 cents on the dollar.
Native American women, 60 cents on the dollar.
And a Latina woman makes 55 cents to every dollar paid to a white man for similar work.

Without meaningful intervention, the wage gap will persist for the next 200+ years. This reality is unacceptable and unlawful. And we have a solution. Fair Pay Workplace certification ensures that people doing substantially similar work are paid the same.
