Is your structure slowing you down?

Is pay equity quietly costing you your best people?
Salary compression and pay inversion can erode trust and morale. When newer employees make as much—or more—than experienced staff, it creates frustration, disengagement, and potential legal risks if protected groups are impacted. Left unchecked, it can drive your top talent right out the door.

MorganHR helps you stop the cycle.
We partner with organizations to uncover hidden pay gaps, align compensation structures with the market, and implement clear, transparent practices that build trust and retention. With a tailored 6–8 week engagement, we help you diagnose problems, fix them quickly, and set up guardrails to prevent them from recurring.

In just weeks, you’ll gain:

  • Interviews with key stakeholders to define current vs. desired state

  • A documented evaluation of your pay practices

  • A company-sized job evaluation tool customized for your needs

  • A grade or pay level structure aligned to the market

  • Benchmark job identification and job-to-market base pay evaluation*

  • Grade or pay level assignments for benchmark jobs

  • Supervisor-to-direct report salary analysis

  • Impact analysis for at-risk employees and equity risks

  • Import file for HRIS integration

  • Deployment communications & HR training

*Survey data purchase may be additional and required.

The payoff?

  • Transparent, market-aligned pay structures

  • Reduced pay equity and compliance risk

  • Stronger retention and employee trust

  • A foundation for confident compensation decisions

Is your salary structure helping you attract talent—or driving them away?
When pay structures fall out of sync with the labor market, companies either overpay (driving up costs) or underpay (losing out on talent). Without clear salary ranges, employees see inconsistency, engagement drops, and competitors win your people.

That’s where MorganHR helps.
We design compensation structures that are competitive, consistent, and sustainable—whether local or global. By establishing clear pay levels with defined minimums and maximums, you gain a framework that keeps pay fair, controls costs, and shows employees how they can grow.

In just 6–8 weeks, you’ll walk away with:

  • An analysis of your business needs, culture, KPIs, external factors, and compensation philosophy

  • Market-informed job structures and salary ranges

  • Salary grades or pay levels with defined spread and progression

  • Guidance on market positioning (Lead, Match, Lag)

  • Documentation of how to administer, evaluate, and maintain alignment

The payoff?

  • Competitive pay to attract and retain talent

  • Consistent structures that build employee trust

  • Better cost control through disciplined pay practices

  • Clearer career progression across levels and geographies

Are hidden pay risks threatening your business?
Salary inequities can quietly erode morale, trigger turnover, and expose your company to costly lawsuits. Whether it’s pay compression, systemic inequities, or unintentional bias, the risks build over time. The best leaders don’t wait for an employee complaint or government audit—they take action early.

MorganHR helps you get ahead of the risk.
Our pay and salary audits uncover vulnerabilities before they become problems. We review your pay practices, employee demographics, and market data to identify inequities, compliance gaps, and cost risks. From there, we provide clear, actionable recommendations so you can maintain fairness, build employee trust, and strengthen your legal defense.

In just 6–8 weeks, you’ll gain:

  • Stakeholder interviews to identify decision-making factors

  • Extracted and summarized employee demographic data

  • Review of job descriptions and pay for at-risk roles

  • Reduced risk of EEOC, OFCCP, or employee legal claims

  • Fairer, more competitive pay practices

  • Stronger employee engagement and retention

  • A proactive culture of trust and compliance

Are compensation surveys draining your team’s time and energy?
Market data is essential for smart pay decisions. But the reality? Compensation survey submissions are complex, time-sensitive, and resource-intensive. Missing deadlines or submitting inaccurate data can leave your organization flying blind—risking talent loss if you underpay, or unnecessary costs if you overpay.

MorganHR makes survey participation simple.
Our consultants bring decades of experience managing survey submissions across industries and geographies. We handle the heavy lifting—data gathering, submissions, vendor questions, and validation—so your HR team can focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.

In just 2–3 weeks, you’ll receive:

  • Full management of internal data gathering for domestic and global compensation surveys

  • A clear understanding of how your jobs compare to the market

  • Strategic insights to align pay practices with competitiveness and sustainability

Are your executive pay decisions ready for board and shareholder scrutiny?
In today’s environment, every aspect of CEO and executive compensation is examined under the public microscope.

MorganHR brings credibility and clarity.
We provide independent, governance-minded executive compensation analyses tailored to your company’s strategy, peer group, and market realities.

Are your pay practices aligned with your company’s growth and culture?
Today’s organizations face a maze of compensation challenges—rebuilding workforces, positioning for growth, navigating incentive regulations, and balancing pay-for-performance.

Is your HR function protecting your business—or putting it at risk?

Are you confident your pay practices comply with every labor law?
Keeping up with federal, state, and local wage and hour regulations is overwhelming for business owners. Minimum wage and “living wage” differences, daily vs. weekly overtime rules, and complex exempt vs. non-exempt classifications create high risk for errors. Even well-meaning employers can face costly violations, fines, or lawsuits if processes aren’t airtight.

MorganHR helps you uncover and fix compliance gaps.
We conduct thorough wage and hour audits to identify risks, correct issues, and create processes that prevent future violations. From overtime policies to payroll records and employee classification, we give you the confidence that your practices align with FLSA and state/local requirements.

In just 2–4 weeks, you’ll gain:

  • Review of exempt vs. non-exempt classifications (salary basis + duties tests)

  • Validation of processes for non-exempt employees

  • Recordkeeping evaluation (time, payroll, contracts, notices)

  • Compliance review for minimum wage, deductions, and reporting requirements

  • Assessment of vacation, holiday, sick, and mandated leave policies

  • Overtime policy analysis across federal, state, and local rules

  • Independent contractor and temporary employee compliance checks

  • Review of benefits, accruals, payroll processing, and policies

  • Final audit report with findings, remedies, and next steps

The payoff?

  • Reduced risk of wage and hour violations, lawsuits, and fines

  • Confidence that pay practices meet FLSA, state, and local requirements

  • Stronger, more consistent HR and payroll processes

  • Greater trust and transparency with employees

Are your job descriptions helping—or hurting—employee performance?
Pay is important, but research shows job design is one of the biggest drivers of motivation and retention. Outdated or incomplete job descriptions create confusion, weaken engagement, and increase turnover risk. They can also expose your company to compliance issues under federal and state laws. For growing organizations, these risks multiply quickly.

MorganHR ensures your job descriptions keep pace with your business.
We conduct job description audits to reassess duties, minimum qualifications, and compliance with labor regulations. By aligning roles with employee strengths and business needs, we help you improve performance, strengthen engagement, and reduce legal exposure.

In just 2–4 weeks, you’ll gain:

  • Review of job description templates for completeness and compliance

  • Collection and organization of all current job descriptions

  • Impact analysis comparing current employee qualifications to new requirements

  • FLSA compliance review for updated exempt/non-exempt classifications

  • Final manager authorization and employee review of updated descriptions

  • A final audit report with findings, remedies, and next steps

The payoff?

  • Clear, accurate, and compliant job descriptions

  • Improved employee motivation, engagement, and retention

  • Reduced compliance risks tied to misclassification

  • Stronger alignment between job design and business performance
