Compensation 11th Edition by George Milkovich,Jerry Newman,Barry Gerhart

Exercise 8

Your employer is considering whether to pursue business opportunities with the federal government. You have been asked to "... determine what is required to conduct a Voluntary Self-Evaluation of Compensation Practices following the June 2006 OFCCP Guidelines." The company needs to better understand the resources (talent, information, data access, timing, etc.) that it would need to devote to such a self-evaluation. Your boss emphasizes, "Only scope out what it will take-give me your ballpark ideas."
Go to www.dol.gov/regs/fedreg/notices/2006005457.pdf. Go to page 35120 and find the section with the title Final Voluntary Guidelines-Voluntary Guidelines for Self-Evaluation of Compensation Practices for Compliance With Executive Order 11246 With Respect to Systemic Compensation Discrimination ("Voluntary Guidelines"). There are several steps (procedures) listed. The first step, described in Section I.A, deals with sorting employees into "similarly situated employee groupings." Prepare a memo that highlights the steps or procedures required in the OFCCP Self-Evaluation Guidelines.
