The push for so-called "pay equity" has emerged as one of the most dangerous legal issues for employers in 2016, with potential claims in the multi-million dollar range. New laws in California, New York and other states, renewed initiatives by federal agencies and private plaintiffs’ attorneys, and national exposure by politicians in this election year, mean that employers will be facing new and largely uncharted challenges on the compensation front.

Our presentation focused on:

  • Federal, State and private pay equity initiatives
  • Key legal developments, including new California and New York laws
  • The interplay between wage laws and discrimination principles
  • Identifying the most dangerous HR and compensation practices
  • Important take-aways to help reduce risk and protect your organization

Speakers
Michael Reiss, Partner and former EEOC Regional Attorney
