How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

The 5 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you keep the Country Tracker and Legal Review Tracker current.

  1. Read the Toolkit guide first (PDF). It frames what the rules require and how to run the project end to end.

  2. Open the Workbook, read the Framework tab, then list your countries, entities, and headcounts on the Readiness Tracker.

  3. Build the foundations: Data Inventory, Job Grouping and Equal Value, and Pay Range Documentation.

  4. Review pay on Pay Gap Review, move any 5% flag onto Gap Flag and Remediation to start the six-month clock, and log requests on the Employee Request Log against the two-month window.

  5. Keep the Country Tracker and Legal Review Tracker current, and use the editable Toolkit Word file for your executive briefing.

Before you buy

Clear answers to the practical questions.

The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.

What exactly do I receive?

5 PDF guides, 1 Word document, 1 Excel workbook, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.

Are these the real screenshots?

Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.

Can I use the files in my business?

The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.

What if I need help applying it?

Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
