Equal Pay

Solutions to identify and manage equal pay risk

Equal pay continues to post a problem to both public and private sector organisations. Failure to comply with equal pay legislation may lead to litigation which can be costly, time consuming and damaging for the image of your organisation both internally and externally.

The Equality Act 2010 will require organisations to report on their gender pay gap and it is therefore vital that employers are able to fully understand and measure the gap in their organisation.

NorthgateArinso Reward Solutions offers a wide range of software and services to help identify and measure pay equality and implement a strategy to tackle any issues raised.

Following the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s guidelines on conducting an equal pay audit, Equal Pay Reviewer lets you analyse where you are at risk from equal pay claims.

Equal Pay Reviewer enables you to carry out a thorough, cost-effective equal pay review. The system is based on the well-established Equality for Human Rights Commission’s 5-step model to ensure your pay structure is fair and free from any unintended bias. 

Our equal pay software makes light work of data giving you powerful management information to make informed decisions.

Designed with the Equality Act 2010 in mind.

This service is ideal if you are interested in finding out if there are any headline pay issues within your organisation, without actually taking the steps to carrying out a full equal pay audit.

Equal Pay Health Check is a comprehensive, low cost report that uses your pay data to establish whether there are any headline equal pay issues.

Through a series of graphs, charts and tables the report shows you the areas of risk within your business.  Although the report is not a full equal pay audit, through statistical analysis of the data we can assess the potential liabilities within an organisation, the need for a full audit and highlight hidden discrimination issues.

The report focuses on key areas, such as:

  • Organisation Composition
  • Gender Pay Gap
  • Distribution of Males/Females
  • Gender Dominated Roles
  • ‘Like Work’ Comparisons
  • Basic and Total Pay Analysis


The entire report is completely tailored to your data, giving analysis of the results generated throughout.

In line with the Equality Act 2010, the Equal Pay Health Check allows you to ensure you are taking action to understand your gender pay gap. The report goes further than simply showing ‘average pay' comparisons by giving more insight as to where problems may lie, and crucially whether a full equal pay audit is required.

Our consultants work with you to ensure equal pay compliance

As the equal pay debate continues to gather pace, organisations need to pro-actively respond to the growing legislative requirements. Failure to do so could have a potentially damaging impact both in terms of cost and organisational reputation.

Equal value underpins our approach to fair evaluation and we can offer a range of equal pay advice from basic guidelines to carrying out a full equal pay audit.

Our consultants are experts at carrying out full equal pay audits and impact assessments.

We work with organisations on the analysis of pay to establish if there is a gap when comparing that of a woman and man completing equal work. On the back of this detailed analysis we identify the causes, establish the level of risk and develop an appropriate strategy to tackle the issues.

As part of our equal pay offering we can:

  • Collaborate with you to conduct an equal pay audit
  • Complete an equal pay audit on your behalf
  • Conduct an equality impact assessment on any changes to your pay and grading
  • Act as accredited independent advisors in all areas of equal pay.

 

Or we can simply provide advice and guidance on any aspect of Equal Pay.
