Understanding Equal Pay Laws and Avoiding and Defending Pay Equity Claims

The federal government’s focus on pay equity and pay data, and the passage of groundbreaking equal pay laws in a number of states, has been one of the biggest employment law developments of 2016. Litigation involving pay equity claims has also risen in the past year. Given the increased focus on pay equity from these multiple sources, employers are well-advised to examine their compensation policies and practices. Understanding and applying the varying tests for pay equity under federal and state statutes can pose a challenge, however.

Please join us for an in-depth webinar where we discuss, among other things

• The federal Equal Pay Act
• State equal pay laws
• The EEOC’s pay data rule
• How to conduct a pay equity study
• Employer defenses to pay equity claims
