  population: {
    scope: 'full-company',
    excludeNew: true,
    newHireThreshold: 6
  },
  dependentVariable: 'base_salary',
  protectedClasses: ['gender', 'race_ethnicity', 'age'],

    significanceLevel: 0.05
  },
  intersectionality: {
    analyze: true,
    combinations: [['gender', 'race_ethnicity']]
  }
};

Remediation Model

const remediation = {
  analysis: 'equity-analysis-2026-01',
  approach: 'bring-to-predicted',
  constraints: {
    maxIndividualAdjustment: 10,
    totalBudget: 500000
  },
  prioritization: {
    method: 'largest-gap-first',

Best Practices

Regular Analysis: Conduct pay equity analysis at least annually
Proactive Approach: Address gaps before they become complaints
Consistent Methodology: Use defensible statistical methods
Documentation: Document methodology and decisions
Legal Review: Involve legal counsel in sensitive situations
Holistic View: Consider total compensation, not just base

Metrics and KPIs

Metric	Description	Target
Unadjusted Gap	Raw pay difference	Track and reduce
Adjusted Gap	Controlled pay difference	Not statistically significant
Remediation Completion	Identified gaps addressed	100%
Trend Direction	Year-over-year gap change	Decreasing
Compliance Status	Regulatory requirement status	Compliant
