Permanent Employee Wages: Historically Marginalized (OI1084)

This metric is intended to capture pre-tax wages and salaries paid to the organization's full- and part-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.
