About this ebook

“An infectiously evenhanded, useful approach to assessing fairer pay.” — Kirkus

"How much are you worth? Rick Gillis brings science to the art of getting paid fairly at work." — Adrian Gostick & Chester Elton, Best Selling Authors | The Carrot Principle, Leading With Gratitude & Anxiety At Work

Leveling the Paying Field offers anyone who takes home a paycheck, seeking a new job opportunity, or carving out their own career path the opportunity to take pay parity into their own hands. Several books exist on the topic of fair pay, but none offers an individual approach to achieving fair pay like Leveling the Paying Field. 

In his latest book, author Rick Gillis has created a rich new metric for measuring the value of the work you produce he calls the QTNT® (pronounced: ‘quotient’). Your QTNT score can then be used to reasonably and realistically challenge your current rate of pay. Not only can equal pay for equal work ultimately be realized, but even better, proper pay for outstanding performance becomes the new normal. 

“This is an important book - for job seekers and hiring managers alike.” — Hung Lee, Curator & Editor | RecruitingBrainfood.com

“...in clear and concise steps, he has dispelled any uncertainty of exactly how to level up and get paid what you are worth.” — Alisa Murray, Award winning Columnist and Content Creator | Living the Sweet Life 

“In Leveling the Paying Field Rick Gillis has brought his lifetime of career management experience to solving one of the hardest aspects of compensation and negotiation: quantifying performance and
value fairly and accurately, regardless of role or gender... His ‘quotient’ will work for everyone…” — Lisa Gates, Negotiation & Career Story Coach | StoryHappensHere.com

    Good is Not Enough & Corner Office Rules

    Having people answer the question ‘resulting in?’ has been transformational for my entire organization as well as our customers. Leveling the Paying Field has completely reframed the way we look at both customer delivery as well as employee compensation. The idea that we are expected to deliver quantifiable value has enabled our team to measure their performance and has directly ‘resulted in’ us being able to identify our A players and maintain scorecards for each customer engagement.
