Pay Disparities – again, still.

Are you 100% confident that you are being paid as much as the men around you who are doing the same (or similar) job? Are you 100% confident that you are being paid more than less experienced, less capable male co-workers?

(See a Equal Pay blog entry for some data which suggests you should not be confident).

And not just you – what about the other women in your workplace?

Since many businesses are doing salary reviews now or will be soon, it’s a great time to act.

I’m going to ask at work whether they analyse the salary data to check for gender disparity. And if not, why not? And if they do, presumably they then adjust the salaries to ensure equity – so they would be happy to release the results of the analysis to the staff. (Not the individual details, of course).

What are you going to do?
