Why does pay disparity happen and what can we do about it?
Rick Gillis
Rick Gillis is the author of Leveling the Paying Field: A Groundbreaking Approach to Achieving Fair Pay, Job! Search Optimized and PROMOTE! Your Work Does Not Speak for Itself. You Do!
His most recent book, Leveling the Paying Field, Rick Gillis takes on the pay inequity/pay disparity issue and provides a workable solution for anyone who believes they are not being paid fairly for the work they do. For those individuals not willing to wait for the government or their organization to achieve pay parity, Gillis offers them the opportunity to take this issue into their own hands.
With more than twenty years of job search support and career advising experience, Gillis created the QTNT® (Quotient) Personal Value Calculation process to teach workers (as well as their employers) how to identify and assign individual value to job performance and personal accomplishment in an all-new way. Gillis, the inventor of this very simple, easy to use, performance metric shows you how the QTNT truly does level the ‘paying’ field.
