No, you don't set salary bands based on race or sex. That sounds like it would be illegal. The way that bias creeps in is not from data gathering and setting salary ranges, it's from managers bias when they choose from the ranges for candidates.
Setting company wide salary bands actually HELPS fairness in pay by providing objective ways employees can argue that they are underpaid if that's the case.
- t-writescode 2y ago> it's from managers bias when they choose from the ranges for candidates. It also comes in from how / if they choose to promote. If they take too long or if they just don't put you up for promotion / reject you, overall earning potential is weakened. Do this enough times and it becomes a substantial reduction in life-long earnings, life-long title, respect, etc.
