Welcome to the Space Toy Co.

PV/REGRESSION ANALYSIS OVERVIEW

The Space Toy Co. (STC) implemented a Pay Equity Plan in 1991 and achieved pay equity for most of its female job classes using the Job-to-Job method of comparison. However, three female job classes could not achieve pay equity using this approach, as they had no male job comparators.

STC was required, under the amended Act, to use "Proportional Value" (PV) to provide pay equity for these three unmatched female job classes: Customer Service Clerk, Accounting Clerk and Receptionist/Typist.

This overview on PV and regression analysis will help you gain a better understanding of how an organization like STC would have adjusted female job rates for PV if needed.

This information is an excerpt from the Space Toy Co. case study, an 85-page document showing how a fictitious company (STC) established and is maintaining pay equity.
