Víðir Ragnarsson hefur hafið störf hjá PayAnalytics og mun leiða ráðgjöf í jafnlaunamálum til erlendra viðskiptavina PayAnalytics og uppbyggingu á fræðsluefni.

Þann 17. mars nk. verða í fyrsta sinn í sögunni veitt verðlaun fyrir árangur í alþjóðlegri jafnlaunavottun, Universal Fair Pay Check. Þessi alþjóðlega vottun felur í sér að árangur í jafnlaunamálum er borinn saman á samræmdan hátt milli fyrirtækja í ólíkum löndum.

Dr. Margret Bjarnadottir was featured as an Equal Pay Game Changer in this year's Equal Pay Day campaign in Germany.

Jafnréttislögin kveða á um að fyrirtæki og stofnanir þar sem 25 eða fleiri starfa, sé skylt að öðlast jafnlaunavottun.  Tilgangur þessara laga og ákvæða um jafnlaunavottun er að styðja við launajafnrétti og draga úr kynbundnum launamun.

Companies in Spain are now obligated to take action to ensure equal pay for work of equal value. DireACTIVAS, one of our partners in Spain, wrote an article (in Spanish) on the new legislation and the potential impact it will have on equality in Spain. We are happy to assist Spanish companies in fulfilling the requirements of the new legislation - and our solution is of course also in Spanish!

Come and join us virtually for a conversation about equal pay: the fast changing legislation around the world, the role of analysis and data driven decision support, the equal pay journey and key levers to drive change - all packed into 90 minutes.

At the People Analytics & Future of Work conference in San Francisco last February Vidir Ragnarsson from Reykjavik Energy gave an insightful talk on how Reykjavik Energy tackled the task of measuring and closing their Gender Pay Gap within a few years.

In a recent blog post for PRCA PayAnalytics Co-founder and Chairman Margrét Bjarnadóttir explains in a nutshell how data and analytics are essential to the process of closing pay gaps – and keeping them closed. She explains, among other things, the two types of pay gaps most commonly mentioned in the press and the difference between the two. The blogpost also embeds a video where Margrét amongst others discusses the role of ethics and fairness when closing pay gaps. The discussion was a part of the PRCA Ethics month.

The World Economic Forum estimates that it will take over 200 years to close the gender pay gap. No one should have the patience to wait that long. How can we accelerate change? The answer may lay in data and models with a good dose of transparency.

The journey starts with gathering the data and understanding the pay structure. Then companies move on to identifying areas for improvement and eliminating unexplained demographic pay gaps through corrective action—in other words, ensuring equal pay for equal work.
