INTENT
The Just program calls for organizations to commit to and demonstrate that they have an equitable compensation scale for all of their employees across all job classifications and pay-scale gradients from the lowest job classification employee to the highest job classification employee. Organizations must ensure that compensation scales for their most senior executives are reasonable, justifiable, equitable, and in line with the rest of the corporate compensation structure.
INDICATOR METRICS
Within the Just program, organizations must have a compensation scale equity policy that shows the ratio of compensation between the lowest-compensated employee and the highest-compensated employee. In the ratio, the 1 represents the compensation of the lowest-compensated full-time employee and the maximum number (40, 30, or 15) represents the compensation of the highest-compensated employee.
