Description
Learn about the latest trends in the quickly evolving area of pay equity laws.
In this topic, participants will learn about the latest trends in the quickly evolving area of pay equity laws. The concept of Equal Pay has been around for decades, but in recent years, state and local governments have begun to tackle the issue with new (and often differing) types of legislation. Beginning with laws that prohibited employers from suppressing discussion among workers about their pay levels, followed by statutory restrictions on asking job applicants about their salary history, to the current trend of requiring that job advertisements disclose compensation ranges, the processes of recruiting, hiring, and assessing remuneration have gotten increasingly complex, especially for employers operating in multiple jurisdictions. Starting with a broad overview of the history of Equal Pay legislation in the U.S., the discussion will include deep dives into the practical implications of two evolving key components of the equal pay movement salary history bans and wage range disclosure laws.
