Expected outcomes

Our thorough review will help you:

    • Identify Risks: Understand the possibility of equal pay claims and assess your organisation’s risk.
    • Strengthen Structures: We will provide actionable recommendations to mitigate risks, which can be integrated into your pay and reward systems.
    • Broader Risk Assessment: We will also evaluate other potential risks, such as equal value claims, and suggest necessary investigations before further recommendations.

Methodology

The process is meticulous and confidential, designed to give you peace of mind while safeguarding sensitive information. As part of the review you’ll get:

    • Tailored insights and accuracy: By establishing a baseline and conducting a snapshot analysis we’ll ensure recommendations are based on a clear understanding of your current pay practices, leading to precise comparisons and data-driven decisions.
    • Comprehensive risk assessment: The review captures a holistic view of your organisations compensation structure, identifying potential inequalities and compliance risks across different functions and locations.
    • Enhanced clarity and compliance: Examining contracts and employee data clarifies specific concerns and ensures alignment with best practices, helping to safeguard your organisation against potential disputes and enhancing overall pay equity.

Who carries out the review?

The review is carried out by Halborns, an expert employment law firm known for its pragmatic, solutions-focused approach, part of the Empowering People Group, which unites HR and learning businesses to enhance employee experiences and business success.

Is the review confidential?

Because the audit is being carried out by your lawyers it will be completely confidential and non-disclosable in any tribunal or court proceedings.  We suggest limiting discussion of the results to C-Suite and senior HR individuals only.

Who is the review suitable for?

The review is suitable for any size business as all organisations can be at risk of equal pay claims. However, larger organisations, particularly in certain industries (such as retail), often face the greatest exposure due to their size, complexity, and public accountability.
