Podcasts about pay parity

Early childhood education providers are hopeful ending pay parity for relievers will allow more permanent roles. From October, only permanent part-time or full-time certified teachers will be paid according to the pay parity policy. The Early Childhood Council says 74 percent of its members support the exclusion. Chief executive Simon Laube approves of removing this educational 'red tape'.  "You just create an inducement for them to leave teaching and become relievers if you do - so there's some real common sense today."

The new Government needs to find a quarter of a billion dollars to settle a pay parity deal with early childhood teachers. A previous cost estimate for the settlement was found to be vastly too low. NZEI says the outgoing Government committed to paying teachers. National Secretary Stephanie Mills says problems in the sector must be sorted - or things will only get worse. "If we want to stop the real churn in the sector, people going to Australia and the loss of morale, the Government really does need to address this."

A Clare Independent TD is calling on the government urgently ringfence home help hours in the county. At present in the MidWest , the HSE employs 180 Health Care Assistants in North Tipperary, 267 in Limerick and just 86 in Clare. So far this year 77% of all home support hours in this county have been delivered by private sector staff who can receive up to €7 per hour less than their HSE counterparts. Speaking in the Dáil, Kilrush Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne says the over reliance on private personnel has proved detrimental.

Top ten women's football teams US, Canada, Germany and Brazil have all been eliminated from the 2023 Women's World Cup before the quarter-finals, and underdogs Jamaica and Morocco won big early on. In a landmark deal in February 2022, the US women's team finally received pay parity after a year's long battle with the US Soccer Federation. In contrast, a Jamaica team member's mother had to start a GoFundMe campaign in order for the Jamaican team to be able to prepare for this year's World Cup. Now, the big question is: what's behind these wins and losses, and does funding make a difference?

Pay parity is a simple concept: Everyone working the same job in the same location should be making roughly the same amount of money. However, in reality, it can be complicated to execute a pay parity strategy from scratch.  This week, we look at how Adobe first implemented a pay parity model way back in 2018. Katelin Holloway sits down with Rosemary Arriada-Keiper Vice President of Total Rewards at Adobe. She paved the way for pay parity at the company and continues to update, innovate, and adjust this model. Five years later, the 28,000 employees at the $4.53 billion value company continue to benefit from this standardized approach to pay.  Rosemary tells us…  How Adobe standardized what pay parity even means How Adobe maintains pay parity five years in  What caused initial timeline delays with rolling out pay parity  We're a podcast for People Leaders – we would love your feedback!

Early Childhood teachers are celebrating a nearly $2 billion boost for the sector, including funding for pay parity from November next year. The package includes $1.2 billion dollars to extend 20 hours free childcare to two-year-olds from March next year, worth $133 a week per child. There's almost $340 million dollars for pay parity and $260 million for operating costs including a one-off $3 million for Playcentre Aotearoa.

From tomorrow, more than 8000 nurses working in aged care, hospices and other community providers will start getting pay rises of up to 15 percent. That's going to bring them closer to pay parity with their colleagues in hospitals. But family doctors warn that leaving out nurses in general practice means they'll continue to hemorrhage staff. Ruth Hill reports.

Early learning centre owners are crying foul over a scheme to raise the pay of early childhood teachers. The Early Childhood Council says it will sue the government over the early learning pay parity scheme, designed to bring the pay of their teachers to the same level as kindergarten teachers.  It says the scheme could even force the closure of the smaller centres, which employ half the senior teachers.  ECC chief executive is Simon Laube spoke to Kim Hill.

The Early Childhood Council says the legal action against the Government over its Pay Parity policy is about taking a stand. Pay Parity aims to close the gap between teachers in education and care centres and those in kindergartens, but the council says it's making older, often female, teachers with more experience unaffordable, forcing providers to put up parent fees. The council claims it breaches the right to freedom from discrimination for those teachers. CEO Simon Laube told Mike Hosking that the ministry has an advisory group that it's been working with for about a year. But he says the claims they've been raising seem to have been ignored.

Frustration continues to simmer over pay parity for aged care nurses. Aged Care Association Chief Executive Simon Wallace says a promise of parity was made at the end of November. He says aged care nurses are paid up to 20-thousand dollars less than their counterparts in public hospitals. But Wallace says that what has been delivered by Te Whatu Ora is less than half of what's needed. He says it's short-changing our nurses, and it's going to cause more service disruption and see more beds closed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 7, 2023 - The Legal Aid Society of NYC Juvenile Rights Practice Chief Attorney Dawne Mitchell makes the case for increasing wages for attorneys representing kids in the family court system so their compensation is on par with other lawyers in the system.

The government has started to prioritise pay parity for healthcare workers.  200 million per year will be invested into the sector-wide project, making sure all workers are paid equitably and fairly.  This also comes as talks become renewed for an emergency department at Whangārei hospital.  All this and more was covered in Tuva'as regular chat with health minister Andrew Little.   

General practices say it's devastating their staff have been left out of a pay parity package for healthcare workers. Health Minister Andrew Little today announced more than two-hundred-million-dollars to address pay parity for non-hospital health staff. But general practices were left out because Minster Little said he had seen no real evidence of pay difference, despite being supplied with figures. Niva Chittock reports.

The nurses union says a Government announcement around pay parity is a step in the right direction. The Government's agreed to ongoing funding of 200-million dollars a year for frontline community health workers. It'll apply to those in private and non-Government organisations - to level pay with those in the public sector. But the Health Minister says it won't mean an immediate change for those in GP practices. Nurses' Organisation Chief Executive Paul Goulter told Mike Hosking they have a different view. He says the Minster says based on evidence he has in front of him, there isn't a pay parity issue for nurses in General Practice- but they disagree.

India is a cricket-loving nation, with the sport played all over the country - from grassroots gully (street) cricket to domestic, national and international leagues. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is the world's richest cricket governing body, with a net worth of around $2 billion. But women's cricket in the country has struggled to enjoy the same level of recognition and funding as men's cricket. The recent announcement by the BCCI to pay equal match fees to both men and women players has been widely welcomed. But will it change the patriarchal mindset that women players face right from the start of their cricket journey? Will it help attract more brands and sponsors to women's cricket? And how about the annual retainership fee that still has a huge gap between men and women cricketers? In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss whether gender pay parity will change the way the sport is played in India.

Deputy Prime Minister and Sports Minister, Grant Robertson, says New Zealand should be working towards pay parity across all sports. He made the comments during his post-Cabinet media conference yesterday afternoon, following the Black Ferns' Rugby World Cup triumph. One of the arguments against pay parity has been the commercial value of the teams - and Robertson says the World Cup showed it is clear there is an extraordinary brand value the Black Ferns. Robertson spoke to Corin Dann.

Hundreds of nurses from whanau support organisation Plunket are walking off the job today - their CEO says reaching pay parity would mean a Government funding shortfall of over nine million dollars this year. The workers are striking in a push to be paid 20% more - in line with nurses at Te Whatu Ora. We're joined by Plunket CEO Fiona Kingsford.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new resale royalty scheme looks to provide Kiwi artists more pay parity with those overseas. The Government's announced the policy - in line with New Zealand's free trade agreements with the UK and EU. It'll give visual artists a five percent cut, before any other charges, letting them benefit from a resale. Arts Foundation General Manager Jessica Palalagi told Mike Hosking it's great news. She says it brings local artists more on par with what's happening internationally, and gives them the recognition they deserve. The scheme will be introduced by late 2024.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite the Government seeming to be spending money elsewhere, they've given early childhood teachers the rough end of the stick.

It also scaled-back subsidy increases for education providers. Chief executive of the Early Childhood Council Simon Laube joined Kate Hawkesby.

On Feb 11th of this year Subhash Chaudhury, CTO and founder of Dukaan, posted the salaries of nine new hires. That tweet went viral. The very next day, the CTO of Chingari, also posted salaries of six new hires. This tweet also went viral. Salaries are the one part of our jobs shrouded in secrecy. We know, without anyone specifically ever telling us, that they are not to be ordinarily shared with our colleagues. We don't want to be impolite. And businesses like paying as little as they need to.And here you have two businessmen, breaking that cardinal rule.In this, our pilot episode of Cost to Company, we will explore why these tweets were posted, and what happens when you break this cardinal rule of business. We will see what this experiment - the publishing of a salary - does to a business. Does it make salaries more fair and equitable? And is the relationship between employee and employer — bound by goodwill and a confidential fiduciary contract — changed for good?If you like our podcast, or have thoughts, feelings or story ideas, write to us at podcasts@the-ken.com.

Unsurprisingly, most people work to get paid (a wild concept, I know.) Despite that, navigating and creating a proper pay scale for sales teams is a seemingly complex and difficult process. How can we create a pay scale that works for the organization and the workers themselves? In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by the CRO of LinkSquares, Steve Travaglini, to discuss what he does to strike a balance between these two sides.  Salary open for negotiation in sales roles doesn't make sense. If you have two people doing the exact same job, they should be paid the same. Pay isn't the way to motivate people. If you pay people differently, that will eventually get out and will result in a lack of trust in the organization. Base salaries should be standard across a job title, but allow the variable income (i.e. commission) to determine how much a seller's skills allow them to make.  There should be no questions or ambiguous items when an employee signs a compensation agreement. Set the rules before you play the game. What items do sellers find annoying in the compensation package? Having different salaries but the same amount of experience should be a nonstarter. Structure annual bonuses around the hiring period, not the calendar year to give everyone an equal chance of reaching that quota.  Implement rewards and compensations beyond strictly monetary like parental leave, benefits, and even stocks or an owner's portion of the company to keep employees satisfied. Consider advertising jobs based on income; it shouldn't be the taboo topic that it is currently.  Steve's average retention v. other tech companies: Typically tech companies aim to be in the 50-75% range of employee This year, Steve's company is around 80% retention and historically around 70%.  They take risks on sellers with no experience or without the 5-6 years of closing experience, people expect to see. It all comes down to the product and the company; you can be great at your craft, but that doesn't mean you'll be world-class at every company. Steve's final takeaway? Don't forget what it's like to be the rep. Listen to the account executives and those around you; put together a benefits package you would've appreciated if you were in their role.

Australian Pay equity expert, Yolanda Beattie talks to Kathryn about what needed to be thrashed out to ensure the White Ferns match fee pay parity deal with their male counterparts. Earlier this month, an agreement was struck between New Zealand Cricket, the six Major Associations, and the New Zealand Cricket Players Association, professional women's and men's cricketers. The five year deal means the White Ferns and domestic women's players receive equal match fees to the men across all their formats and competitions. But New Zealand's professional men's players will still earn much higher retainers, based on the increased number of matches played, formats contested, and time spent training and playing. Yolanda Beattie helped the NZ Cricket Players Association with their efforts to get a new Master agreement in place.

Pay parity is one of those things that sound really, really amazing and attractive. It feels like so many challenges female physicians face could be solved if everyone just earned the same, right?   Well, oftentimes pay parity can create its own set of imbalances that breed discontent, frustration, and being underpaid for your expertise. If mis-aligned or incorrectly implemented, pay parity can become another way people aren't paid what they're worth.    Can pay parity be a good thing? How do we approach negotiations in an organization that pays on parity? How do we avoid contracts we'll end up resenting and regretting?   In today's episode, I'm going to talk about a topic that really needs attention - pay parity and how to navigate it.     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    - Pay parity vs. pay equity What's the difference between parity and equity and is it possible to have equity and parity at once?    - The concerns a pay parity contract has to address  Can pay parity truly address the nuances of our individual work and also account for the barriers we have to practice?    - How group parity can lead to individual discontent  There's power in numbers, but there can also be unfairness when we're lumped in with many people. How do we ensure that the group pay parity status benefits us individually?

Hospital nurses are eyeing up possible strike action after rejecting the government's latest pay offer, while their counterparts in hospice care pursue pay parity with hospital nurses. Hospice nurses are paid significantly less, with estimates putting the difference between 10 and 20 percent less than DHB nurses. Nurses employed by 18 different hospice groups are currently voting on new MECAs - Multi-Employer Collective Agreements. If they are successful in achieving parity, it will put increased financial pressure on hospices, which already rely heavily on charity to meet operational costs. But if pay parity is not achieved, how can the hospice sector attract and retain qualified nurses? Kathryn talks through the issues with Denise van Aalst from Palliative Care Nurses New Zealand and Danielle Davies, an industrial adviser for New Zealand Nurses Organisation members who work in the Private Hospital and Hospice sector.

Thousands of early childhood teachers will get a pay rise next year thanks to a $170-million funding boost announced by the government today. Education Minister Chris Hipkins says the money will be used to give teachers at least the same pay as the first six steps on kindergarten teachers' 11-step pay scale. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6253770201001 That gives them pay parity with kindergarten and school teachers with the same qualifications and experience.
