Pay Equity

Applied is committed to compensating our employees fairly and equitably. To that end, we have structured our compensation program so that our employees’ pay is based on relevant factors, such as their roles, organizational levels and geographic locations and not on their demographics.

To confirm that we live up to our goal of pay equity, we have engaged an independent third party to calculate pay ratios comparing compensation for Applied employees in a similar roles, levels and locations. In each instance, the ratio is based on total compensation, which reflects the sum of an employee’s base salary, any cash bonus, and any stock award. 

We will continue monitoring our compensation practices and provide information about Applied’s pay equity efforts in future Sustainability Reports..
