Purpose
State why the Notice is issued and whether it follows an audit, policy change, or employee request; keep language factual and non‑accusatory.
A clear Notice improves transparency, reduces misunderstanding, and documents the employer's steps to identify and remedy gender-based disparities. It supports regulatory readiness, internal governance, and employee trust while creating an auditable record of communication and follow-up.
Human resources, compensation analysts, and in-house counsel most often prepare and issue the Employee Gender Equity Notice when audits or policy updates occur.
Employees, managers, and benefits administrators are common recipients; the Notice should be routed to any party affected by pay-equity findings or by changes to internal procedures.
