Do you have a gender pay gap?
Klar Packages are standardized modules for common reward processes. They are based on best-practice methods, refined time and time again to deliver reliable results at lower cost and implementation time.
Klar offers our Equal Pay review as a stand-alone package or as a component in our Pay Transparency-package. This gives you an accurate, authoritative measure of the gender pay equality in your organization.
We use statistical modelling to adjust for all factors affecting pay that are not related to gender – such as job level, skills, performance, location, senority, tenure. The resulting difference is called the adjusted pay gap.

FAQ
The ‘unadjusted’ or ‘raw’ gender pay gap is comparing the average pay of women relative to the average pay of men. It is done by using this formula:
Average Pay of Men – minus – Average Pay of Women – divided by – Average Pay of Men
Systemic inequality can occur even if a company culture has no perceivable gender-based bias. It is often the symptom of something else:
- Imbalances in your Job Architecture
- Lack of check and balance processes
- Lack of governance
If this is the case, chances are that the gender pay gap is just one unfairness among many.
Fixing the pay gap is a process. We have done this quite a few times. This is what works:
- Don’t replace one unfairness with another
- Incremental measures, not radical restructuring
- Use steps that increase fairness and transparency
- Use steps that are aligned with local market
