Anxious about pay transparency?

Whether you like it or not, pay transparency is coming in hot. Across both the US and Canada, states and provinces are ruling that employers must include pay ranges with all job postings. In our view, this is good news; pay that’s transparent is more likely to be pay that’s fair. Publishing ranges tends to make them less subjective, and, in theory, should contribute to the much-needed closing of gendered and racialized pay gaps. The problem? Many employers have no idea how to implement transparent pay or are worried about the impact it might have. At many small organizations, the pay ranges they’re now legally obligated to post are simply not in place. If you’re a founder (or HR pro) finding themselves in this spot, you might have questions. 

The good news? We’ve got answers. As a team, we’ve helped dozens of small organizations design compensation philosophies, bands, and systems that scale across sizes and borders. In our latest article in Early Magazine, we go over your top questions (and existential anxieties) about pay transparency, and open-source our methods for solving them. Enjoy!
