Compa-Ratio is the ratio of an employee’s base salary relative to the midpoint of their job profile. We analyze pay equity by considering compa-ratio and understanding why the compa-ratio for individual employees would differ, such as years of experience or performance. The above table shows the average compa-ratio by management level for female employees, male employees and ethnically diverse employees.
