Related expertise
Pay Equity & Pay Gap Reporting analyses pay outcomes across groups and supports reporting and action planning. It is distinct from Salary Benchmarking (external market comparison), Job Evaluation & Pay Structures (internal role-value consistency) and Reward Strategy (the broader, organisation-wide reward approach), though findings from this analysis often inform work in those areas.

What clients usually ask
Support is provided at a process and analysis level. Employers should confirm their specific statutory obligations with a qualified adviser, since requirements and thresholds can change.
Salary benchmarking compares pay to the external market, and job evaluation assesses internal role consistency. Pay equity analysis looks specifically at whether pay patterns differ in ways connected to protected characteristics or other groupings, which is a distinct question from either.
No. Apex HR's analysis identifies patterns and questions that may need further investigation. A legal determination of unlawful discrimination requires qualified legal advice.
No. Apex HR can support analysis, reporting and action planning, but closing a pay gap depends on decisions and actions your organisation takes over time, and no guaranteed outcome can be promised.
