  • Publication number: 20230297964
    Abstract: A method, a system, and computer program product for managing pay equity cloud-based software applications are provided. A query for compensation data for an employment position associated with a macro-entity is received. The employment position is defined by parameters associated with a micro-entity. The compensation data for similar employment positions associated with the macro-entity is retrieved, from a database and by using the parameters. The compensation data is processed to generate grouped and ranked employment positions. Compensation gaps between the ranked employment positions are determined, by executing a multivariate regression analysis including an analysis of one or more cohorts of employment positions within the ranked employment positions. A recommendation for adjusting compensation associated with one or more employment positions is generated, by using a machine learning model. An instruction to display a notification including the recommendation is provided.
