Using court-approved legal and statistical standards, this one and one-half day program offers a framework for conducting a self-analysis for potential compensation discrimination under Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, and Executive Order 11246. The program also recommends strategies for conducting pro-active self-critical analyses of your compensation systems.
The course recently has been updated to reflect the requirements of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. It is appropriate for both EEO and compensation professionals. EEO professionals will benefit by learning the standards, techniques, and strategies currently used by OFCCP and EEOC in evaluating compensation practices during compliance evaluations or complaint investigations. Compensation professionals will learn how to supplement their traditional evaluation of pay practices with an assessment of legal vulnerabilities to employment discrimination claims based on race or gender. A segment also will be included on executive compensation, including methodologies for monitoring variable pay for potential employment discrimination. Compensation professionals also will learn how best to coordinate their expertise with that of the company’s EEO professionals in managing an OFCCP audit of compensation.
The course begins with a brief overview of the legal and statistical principles applicable to compensation analyses. Against this background there is a more in-depth review of the questions that need to be addressed in evaluating your company’s compensation systems. There is a step-by-step review of recognized statistical methodologies designed to pinpoint workforce units in which potentially problematic pay decisions may have been made. In addition, non-statistical “cohort analyses” are discussed as a way of determining whether problematic pay decisions can be justified on a legitimate, nondiscriminatory basis. Managing OFCCP’s review of your compensation system and strategies for conciliating alleged pay violations found by OFCCP also are addressed. The program concludes with a demonstration of EEAC’s Comp Auditor® II software developed to facilitate compensation analyses.
