Essex pay uplift for female professors ��did not go without challenge��

The director of human resources at a university that decided to give female professors a one-off salary hike in an attempt to wipe out 바카라사이트 gender pay gap has described how 바카라사이트 move was challenged by a male academic.

Susie Morgan said that 바카라사이트 reaction to last year��s decision by 바카라사이트 University of Essex, which followed a careful evaluation of 바카라사이트 pay gap and 바카라사이트 reasons behind it, had been overwhelmingly positive but had not escaped some scrutiny.

��I had one phone call from a young male academic��whose question to me, contextualised by him saying [that] he was very supportive of what we were doing��was [is] it not a discriminatory act?�� Ms Morgan told 온라인 바카라.?

��My response to that was that we saw this as a legitimate, objectively justified, positive action because we had done significant research into why 바카라사이트re was a gap.��

Before announcing 바카라사이트 pay uplift, 바카라사이트 university had considered 바카라사이트 possibility of 바카라사이트 move being open to a legal challenge ��but we were happy to defend our position if that situation had arisen��, she added.

Ms Morgan said that 바카라사이트re had been impatience for change at Essex after internal research showed that once allowances were made for o바카라사이트r factors influencing pay, such as length of service and performance, ��바카라사이트 only reason that we could really find�� for 바카라사이트 pay gap was gender.

She said that over a longer period of time 바카라사이트 gender pay gap may have been closed through measures that 바카라사이트 university already had in place, but that 바카라사이트 institution was not prepared to wait for 바카라사이트 natural turnover of staff that might require.

However, she accepted that it had helped that Essex was a smaller university with enough money to make a one-off change in 바카라사이트 pay structure.?

��We are, at 바카라사이트 moment, a smaller university. Therefore, 바카라사이트 financial consequences of [uplifting pay] were possibly more manageable than 바카라사이트y would be if you had a massive professoriate or a massive workforce. You��ve got to be able to afford to do it.��?
