Pay Equity Compliance: How to Advise Your C-Suite and Safeguard Your Company

Concerns about pay inequality have intensified in recent years, with politicians, media and the public voicing strong opposition to employers paying women and other historically marginalized groups less for the same or substantially similar work. In addition to Federal regulations, states and cities across the U.S. are increasingly adopting pay equity laws in an effort to close pay gaps. 

Compliance with intersecting equal pay laws can be daunting, placing a huge burden on corporate counsel and HR departments. Getting this important issue wrong can have serious ramifications for employers. Class action lawsuits focused on fair pay are increasing, and negative publicity can hurt employee recruiting, retention and customer relationships. In this session, we will cover:

• Summary of new pay equity laws
• Best practices and methodologies for assessing pay equity
• How to maintain a privileged pay audit and what to do with the results
• Littler’s latest solution to help clients tackle this complicated and important issue
