FAQ Logib
1.1 WHAT CALCULATIONS ARE APPLIED TO THE DATA?
Methodologically, Logib is based on a semi-logarithmic OLS regression analysis.
1.2 MY COMPANY ONLY EMPLOYS WOMEN / MEN. CAN I STILL USE THE TOOL?
No. If the workforce is entirely composed of women or entirely composed of men, it is impossible to analyze gender pay equality. The analysis can be carried out for a minimum workforce of 50 employees, with at least one person of the opposite sex.
1.3 HOW DO I BENEFIT FROM AN IN-HOUSE EQUAL PAY ANALYSIS? WHAT IS THE ADDED VALUE FOR ME?
Unequal pay, whether genuine or perceived, has a negative impact on employee motivation. By carrying out an equal pay analysis, employers can show their employees they take the matter seriously. Also, one should not underestimate the impact of the equal pay analysis on the outside world: a company demonstrating it pays equal wages has the image of being a modern employer.
1.4 WHO USES LOGIB
A number of European countries (notably Germany, Finland, France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal and the Czech Republic) use the Confederation’s standard analysis form. The European Union has developed an online tool, Equal Pace, which is also based on Logib.
