- alistairSH 5y agoQuite literally. I don’t know the resolution of geographic pay my employer uses (I suspect it’s by metropolitan area, but could easily be down to zip code), but I do have access to the regional differences of my employees (several large offices globally, and many remote employees). Same for my wife’s employer (several large offices, very few fully remote employees). Wife’s company makes explicit comp adjustments if an employer moved. Mine does not, but it does impact future adjustments.
