Read Application Case "Salary Inequities at AstraZeneca" chapter 11 page 379 and answer the questions below.
- Although the case with the OFCCP is closed, we wonder if there are any less discriminatory explanations possible for why our women sales reps on average earned less than men. If so, what are they?
- Our own company now uses a point method to evaluate jobs for pay purposes, and each resulting job class also has a rate change associated with it. Sales associates are now paid a salary that is not based on incentive pay. List three specific things we can do to ensure that a similar problem (inequitable pay based on gender) does not arise again, assuming they continue using the point plan.
- What sort of compensation plan would you recommend for us, and why?
