Thursday, July 30, 2015. CPM 2015-08 From: BETH F. COBERT ACTING DIRECTOR. Subject: Additional Guidance on Advancing Pay Equality in the Federal Government. In April 2014, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a report, “Governmentwide Strategy on Advancing Pay Equality in the Federal Government,” at the direction of President Obama in his May 2013 memorandum, Advancing Pay Equality in the Federal Government and Learning from Successful Practices.” In our Government wide strategy, we committed to working with agencies to determine where guidance may be needed on the use of General Schedule pay-setting flexibilities and on conducting gender data analysis. This memorandum transmits our new guidance and summarizes other recent OPM activities related to commitments made in the Government wide strategy…
I. Purpose – This document provides an overall guide for agencies to conduct their own gender pay data analysis. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recommends agencies conduct data analysis similar to the analysis conducted for OPM’s April 2014 report, “Government wide Strategy on Advancing Pay Equality in the Federal Government.” The purpose of conducting this analysis is to:
1. Identify areas where potential gender-related pay disparities exist within an agency;
2. Determine if there are identifiable, and statistically reliable, reasons for those disparities; and
3. Provide a basis for the development of targeted strategies to reduce gender-related pay disparities, to the extent possible.
The following overview refers to a more detailed description of the process OPM used to conduct the Government wide gender pay analysis—Detailed Analyses of Government wide Data on Gender Pay Differences for White-Collar Employees.” This more detailed document can be obtained by emailing OPM’s Pay and Leave office at pay-leave- [email protected]…”
