Compa-Ratio

What is compa-ratio?

Compa-ratio is a measure that expresses current pay rates as a percentage of range midpoints. Where the midpoint of a pay range represents full market pay, the ratio of the employee's actual salary to that midpoint indicates whether the employee is paid below, at or above market rates.
