What Is Geographic Pay?

Geographic pay provides organizations with a solution to ensure that team members are paid competitively to the appropriate labor market based on an employee’s place of work. 

Geographic Pay Differential

One approach is the use of a geographic pay differential that recognizes geographic differences to an employee’s pay for similar roles typically based on the cost of labor compared between two or more locations.

Implementation

Apply geographic pay to your compensation strategy and prioritize transparent and advanced communication with employees. The geographic pay practices should be applied consistently to employees, ensuring fair and equitable management of the program.
