Pay Equity Audit Services

At Kavea Compensation Consultants, we specialize in Pay Equity Audits—a critical step toward building a fair, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Our mission is to help companies ensure that their compensation practices are transparent, equitable, and compliant with evolving pay equity laws. By conducting detailed pay equity audits, we provide you with the insights and strategies needed to foster trust, boost employee satisfaction, and support long-term business success.

Pay Equity goes beyond equal pay, ensuring fairness by eliminating discrimination based on protected classes like age, sex, gender, and ethnicity. In essence, factors such as performance, education, and experience should guide compensation differences.

What is a Pay Equity Audit?

An equity audit is a full-scope look at how your business pays compensates to check for any imbalances between employees in similar roles. We audit pay-related factors such as job title, years of experience, years in current role, tenure, individual performance, and an individual’s background . We let you know where you’re missing the mark, why it could be that way, and make transparent, data-driven suggestions for closing the loopholes.
