Equal pay, fair pay, and paycheck fairness are the buzz words in all three branches of government -- from the U.S. Supreme Court hearing both the Lilly Ledbetter
and Betty Dukes legal cases; the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act; and, the current push for the passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act. THOMAS HOUSTON associates, inc. has redoubled its efforts in the area of compensation review and analysis with our recent partnership with Jude Sotherlund, former U.S. Department of Labor official and subject-matter expert.
In addition to the Comprehensive Salary Analysis (CSA) which is part of our Affirmative Action Program package of services, we now offer client-specific specialized consulting in the area of compensation. Understanding the complexities of differentiating amongst peers, THOMAS HOUSTON associates, inc. can work with each client to refine the data analyses utilized in the OFCCP's broad-brush approach. Our analytical compensation services include
regression analyses; pooled compensation analyses by jobs of similar scope; bonus analyses (by bonus program); and, analyses of total cash compensation.
For those clients desiring a more robust approach (proactively or reactively), our compensation team has the professional capacity to cull through HRIS databases, personnel files,
historical documents, etc. and provide a longitudinal analysis by employee and diagnostic of findings. We also work with clients to produce analyses to meet their specifications including
analyses of performance management system(s); annual merit-to-performance analyses; compa-ratio analyses; analyses of starting salaries for volume hiring by hiring "class",
(i.e., MBAs, college/university graduates, etc.) or by title (i.e., Customer Service Representative I, etc.); as well as analyses of long-term incentive programs, benefits and perquisites.
These services can be provided individually or packaged at the client's request.
