Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture pre-tax wages and salaries paid to the organization's full-time employees who belong to historically marginalized groups and should include neither benefits nor payroll expenses. This metric should exclude Temporary Employee Wages (OI4202).
-
The categorization of historically marginalized groups varies with location and context. With no internationally agreed-upon definition as to which groups constitute historically marginalized on the basis of race and/or ethnicity, if well-established local policies exist (as in South Africa, with the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment [BBBEE] definition of historically marginalized, or in India, based on backward caste), organizations should refer to these local guidelines to identify groups historically marginalized on the basis of race and/or ethnicity. Otherwise, and wherever appropriate, organizations should provide additional detail regarding their tailored methodology for defining these groups.
