A single document proving how employment related practices are sound, transparent, and equitable
You are an Employer, a HR Tech company, or a Staffing company and subject to laws and/or regulations related to AI usage, assessment bias, wage transparency, wage parity, or human capital disclosure. If you don’t perform, you face fines from regulators and/or subject to civil legal.
We are an independent auditor. We publish a single audit related to regulations globally on one or more these topics. We show our work so interested parties know exactly how the audit was performed. Audits can be published publicly. As needed, we are deposed and/or testify on your behalf during legal proceedings.
Disclosure of data use, accommodation requests, 4/5th rule, assessment bias, selection or advancement
Employers, HR Technology companies, and Staffing companies are subject to regulation regarding automation and/or artificial intelligence during employment. Many of these laws and regulations address bias against underserved and/or marginalized demographic groups in localized jurisdictions, seeking proof and excellence in diverse, equitable, and inclusive employment practices.
The Audit reviews systems, policies, software, assessments, and experiences that applicants and employees would be subject to. The Audit validate unbiased decisions are being made when assessments, automation, and/or artificial intelligence is engaged. Outputs include statistical proof that adverse or explicit impact is not present, an execution of 4/5ths rule, and validation that public notice is met. The Audit also serves as evidence if a client is NOT using automation / AI technologies that would be subject to regulations.
Applicable for city/state/other/country employment laws
You have positions located in legal jurisdictions OR accept individuals who reside in certain jurisdictions that are subject to wage and benefits transparency laws. Applicants and internal employees are informed of wages within job postings, at offer of employment, or as solicited.
This landscape is ever changing. It is very difficult to keep up with the legislation and the training, processes, and technology required to stay in compliance to avoid fines and/or legal actions.
We audit job postings, internal pay structures, and recruitment behaviors. We produce an audit that reveals compliant, non-compliant, or inconclusive behaviors in each jurisdiction. Our audit involves access to your internal data (without filtering or manual uploads by your team), extracting text from job postings daily and using natural language processing to validate their transparency, and listening to feedback from your teams and applicants.
SEC + CSRD disclosures, applicant & employee requests, wage solicitation
Employers regulated by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and/or the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are required to submit human capital metrics annually Wage parity in the EU, US, and more are also required. Separately, venues for employees and applicants to solicit wage and benefit information or report grievance is a requirement. Lastly, inquiry and disclosure related to salary history and wages are very complex.
The audit includes a formal human capital disclosure report that meet the needs of the SEC and CSDR. Organizations not regulated by either receive the same information for internal use and awareness.
Regarding wage solicitation, we first listen. We offer “Listening Loops” to take environmental scans of solicitation behaviors. This includes storing complaints and compliments for remediation and evidence. We then log, offering employers the ability to respond to applicants and employees as required.
All logs and observations are summarized / included in the Audit.
The Audit is performed annually, with data being collected on a schedule hidden to the customer. Once submitted, a briefings to leadership with an agenda detailing compliance, risk, and recommendations for the next fiscal year occurs.
The Audit is performed and delivered using equipment furnished by the client. It is reviewed by several of our experts to have a rounded and impartial set of views. Analysts, industrial organizational psychologists, and data scientists are engaged to validate the Audit.
The Audit is completed with documentation of its scientific methods, is formally published, and is certified by our Auditor General. Audits are documented, are issued with the proper public notice, and then delivered to comply with the client’s third-party regulators.
