Upcoming Webcasts

The Institute for Human Resources (IHR) Compensation Best Practices and Trends certification program was launched on February 14/15, 2011, with a two-day virtual event. Subsequent events have been held on September 22nd & 23rd, December 12th & 13th, March 19th & 20th, June 11th & 12th and September 10th & 11th. Archives of events are available on www.HR.com .

To date, over 7,500 HR professionals have registered for the IHR program. The purpose of this introductory session is to provide you with an update on webcast topics and introduce you to speakers that will be presenting on December 3rd & 4th. In addition, for those of you who have not participated in one of these events in the past, you will be shown how to register for any newly-added webcasts and make use of the virtual Exhibit Hall, where you can increase your knowledge on product and service suppliers in the compensation arena. You will also learn how to network with your peers by visiting the lounge.

The purpose of this webcast is to provide human resource professionals in the federal contractor and subcontractor community with a thorough understanding of OFCPP Directive 307: “Procedures for Reviewing Contractor Compensation Systems and Practice”. This Directive clarifies and improves OFCCP procedures in support of the agency's efforts to align pay discrimination enforcement with longstanding principles under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It specifies and sets forth in detail the procedures OFCCP field investigators will follow in reviewing contractor and subcontractor compensation systems and practices. This webcast will cover the OFCCP’s review process so participants are better prepared in the event of an audit.

Compensation analysis/investigation for pay-disparity within a Title VII framework has reached an new level of sophistication that most analysts are unprepared to tackle. Specifically federal enforcement agencies such as the OFCCP are auditing employers on their Total Compensation practice. Unlike traditional compensation analysis on base-pay, Total Compensation requires considerably more advanced analytical strategies to avoid two classic fatal flaws;

1. False Negative: A finding of no pay-disparity when there is, in fact, pay-disparity
2. False Positive: A finding of pay disparity when there is, in fact, pay-disparity
3. This presentation we focus on practical, fundamental analytic concepts and strategies for analysis of Total Compensation.
