How to use it
Where to start
Start with step 1 below to see what is included and how the pieces fit together.
Open the Framework tab for a plain-language explanation of the pay-information right. Set your response window (two months by default) and small-group threshold (five by default). Both settings carry through the workbook.
Record each request on the Request Log when it arrives. The workbook calculates the due date and days remaining. The Days left cell turns amber as the deadline approaches and clay after it passes.
Prepare each response on What to Disclose. Enter the category make-up and check the privacy flag before sending. Provide averages by sex, never an identifiable person’s pay.
Send the response within the window, then record the response date on the Request Log. The deadline and response date stay together in one record.
Keep the Annual Notice log current so the yearly reminder to all staff is on record, and clear the Review Checklist before each response.
