Pay

• Ensure that the wage gap is addressed through an intersectional lens accounting for the unique experiences of all individuals.
• Create and share pay bands for every role as this helps to eliminate the opportunity for people – especially women – to undersell themselves, and it promotes equity.
• Review employee pay before and after any type of leave (pregnancy leave, parental leave, sick leave, etc.) so it is aligned with market rates and any new hires into the company. 
• Avoid scenarios where employees have to pay for work-related expenses using their personal finances. For many people, it may be difficult to wait for expenses to be reimbursed.
