The HCI Compensation Tool provides 3 methods to determine PV as defined below:

Cannot be customized:

1. All Males:  All males are included in the PV calculations.

2. Acceptable PV Rate: Determines the first Male Pay Line at that has an acceptable rsquared value by starting with all male and removing individual Job Classes that have the largest deviation from the Male Pay Line, until and acceptable value is identified.  Note this may be the same line as the All Males if All Males create an acceptable rsquared value.

Fully Customizable:

3. Custom Selection: The custom selection provides the option for the user to pick a selected group of Male Jobs to use in the determination of a Male Pay Line to identify a PV.

How to customized:

On the Pay Equity analysis page, for female Job Classes that have "Proportional Value Used" in the Male Comparator column you can click the   SELECT  button in the Custom PV column, this will open a pop-up window showing the 3 options listed above. To change between the options select the radio button beside the option you wish to use. 

When the Acceptable PV Rate or Custom Selection options are chosen you will see a list of male Job Classes under the selection.  The Acceptable PV Rate simply shows all male jobs included in in the calculation.  

The "Custom Selection" shows a list of all male Job Classes with empty check boxes beside the Job Class title.  Select all the Job Classes you wish to include in the PV calculation and click  UPDATE  .

The pop-up window will close and automatically update the comparator rate for the female Job Class based on the new list of comparators.

To see the rsquared value and formula of the new Male Pay Line created, click the  SELECT  button again in the applicable female Job Class row.

If you want to update all female Job Classes in a given year that use PV with the same custom selection, select the check box beside "Update All PV calculations in Year" before selecting the  UPDATE  button.

Warning: Any customizations completed for a specific or all female Job Classes in a given year will not be applied to any other year in the project.  All customizations of PV calculations required must be performed for each year in the project independently.
