8.2.7 : Tracking pay scale for gender equity
Policy on Equality in Service
UTM confirms its dedication to Tracking pay scale for gender equity through a formal policy framework that mandates both continuous review and internal audit of the remuneration system. The Policy on Equality in Service (Polisi Kesamarataan Dalam Perkhidmatan) establishes the requirement for the measurement and elimination of pay gaps as an intrinsic part of its commitment to non-discrimination based on gender, race, or other factors.
The two core mechanisms for this tracking are:
- Periodic Review of Remuneration Framework: The Board of Directors, through its Appointment Committee, is responsible for conducting periodic reviews of the entire salary and remuneration framework. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the pay structure remains consistent with market expectations and needs. This ongoing assessment acts as a systematic measurement mechanism designed to detect and address any deviations from the policy's commitment to pay equity.
- Mandatory Internal Audit: To guarantee adherence to the policy's goals, the University's Internal Audit and Governance functions are mandated to execute periodic reviews (semakan berkala) of the processes involving salary. This formal, institutional oversight ensures that the implementation of salary practices complies with the equality policy, verifying that all staff receive equal pay based on qualifications and established criteria, thereby serving as a direct mechanism for measuring and monitoring pay scale gender equity
