A CRA Labor & Employment expert was retained by a global online technology company to help guide and facilitate a proactive investigation of total compensation packages in advance of annual pay adjustments.
CRA reviewed and advised on technical specifications, such as implementation of documentation and programming code, for the initial pay assessment and remediation strategy.
Working closely with outside counsel and the employer’s compensation team to ensure industry best practices, CRA provided targeted recommendations to refine model specifications, ensuring accuracy and a legally defensible methodology.
Additionally, CRA consultants collaborated with counsel to prepare a project closure memo that provided additional best-in-practice recommendations for next year’s audit, as well as recommendations for how to conduct a root cause analysis that identifies the pay setting process(es) or populations driving unexplained pay gaps.
