Steps to take
Universal Fair Pay Check®
Certification Stages
Analyst
In the Analyst stage, companies begin by conducting a thorough internal analysis of their pay structures, using detailed metrics to identify existing wage gaps across roles, departments, and demographics. This stage establishes a baseline for targeted fair pay initiatives.
Developer
The Developer stage focuses on actively closing identified wage
gaps. Organizations implement targeted policies and regularly evaluate their effectiveness, with the goal of reaching an adjusted gender pay gap between +1% and -1%. Progress is tracked annually to ensure sustainable impact and alignment with fair pay standards.
Leader
At the Leader level, companies achieve a significant milestone in fair pay by maintaining an unadjusted gender pay gap
between +10% and -10% and committing to transparency. They publish their gender pay gap data, share fair pay best practices with others, and continuously refine pay structures to sustain equitable compensation across all demographics, aiming for a long-term target of zero unadjusted gap.
