Dear Yoyi
As promised, attached please find a perfect example of using an Internal Equity Analysis to determine whether an organization should have more than 1 pay structure.
In the first chart, it shows internal equity at its original practice i.e. one pay structure after a job evaluation exercise. Even though the R-squared was a 0.94 (exceeded the minimum of 0.8 and pretty close to 1.0), there are other "tell-tale" signs that indicates "unknowingly" / "unintentionally", the company was adopting a two pay structures.
The signs are:
1. Job Clusters - 1 cluster at Jobs Points from 50 to 250 and another cluster at Job Points 350 all the way to 1050.
2. A "break" in the form of missing grade(s) - there is no jobs in between job points from 251 to 349.
3. Beyond the visual, background information about this company confirmed that the 1st cluster belongs to non-executive jobs (blue collar & clerical) while the 2nd cluster belongs to executive jobs (professional & managerial). From the chart, it is confirmed that the company is paying more aggressive for their executive jobs vs the non-executive jobs.
Because of all the above factors, a second internal equity analysis was constructed, but with a break or with 2 pay structures. Notice the decline in the R-squared for both lines? Although there is a decline, the 2nd chart is a better representation of the pay practice for this company. Therefore, pay recommendations should be based on the 2nd chart instead of the 1st.
Hope my explanation is clear and useful.
