Helpful HR Highlights For Employers
Have you reviewed the compensation strategy for your organization? In future newsletter issues, we will explore compensation surveys, salary banding, direct and indirect compensation topics.
In the meantime, we encourage a look at your equity practices in terms of the Equal Pay Act. Consider this recent report:
Gender Pay Gap Improvement Slowed During the Pandemic
The pay gap between working women and men overall held steady into 2022, unchanged from a year earlier—signifying a break from the steady improvement seen since 2015, new research shows.
“Because women earn less, on average, than men, they must work longer for the same amount of pay. The wage gap is even greater for most women of color,” according to the National Committee on Pay
Equity, a coalition of women’s and civil rights organizations.
The latest data on women’s pay presents a mixed picture.
Going into 2022, women earn 82 cents for every $1 men earn when comparing all women to all men—a stat that is unchanged from 2021, according to compensation data and software firm Payscale’s 2022 State of the Gender Pay Gap Report, released March 15.
This “uncontrolled” gender pay gap has improved by 7 cents since 2015, the firm reported, based on responses from nearly 1.6 million people surveyed through the end of last year. Those findings were compared with responses from earlier Payscale surveys.
Women earn less because they are more likely to leave the workforce as a result of social expectations placed on them as mothers and caretakers, heightened by the pandemic, the report noted. Unemployed women also face a disproportionate wage penalty compared to men when they re-enter the workforce.
However, the gender gap narrows considerably when comparing the earnings of women and men with the same or similar job level and title, education, years of experience, industry, and hours worked. Looking at this “controlled” gender pay gap, women are being paid 99 cents for every $1 men make, up a cent from 2021, when Payscale found that women made 98 cents for every $1 that men earned.
