transform_data

Transforms specific columns of a data.frame to match the requirements of
the standard analysis model.

Implementation of the Swiss Confederation's standard analysis
model for salary analyses
<www.ebg.admin.ch/en/equal-pay-analysis-with-logib> in R. The
analysis is run at company-level and the model is intended for
medium-sized and large companies. It can technically be used with 50
or more employees (apprentices, trainees/interns and expats are not
included in the analysis). Employees with at least 100 employees are
required by the Gender Equality Act to conduct an equal pay analysis.
This package allows users to run the equal salary analysis in R,
providing additional transparency with respect to the methodology and
simple automation possibilities.
