Wage discrimination persists in every state and almost every occupation despite civil rights laws. Women working full time, year-round earn about 83 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men, and the gap is wider for women of color. This 90-minute pay equity compliance webinar explains what employers need to do about it.

You'll review EEOC requirements and the pros and cons of pay equity policies, NLRB pay guidelines for union and non-union employers, and the state pay transparency rules that affect job postings. The session also covers salary history bans, how labor market pressure has pushed salaries up, and how an internal pay equity audit shows where you stand.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Pay gaps remain a compliance and retention risk, and the source analysis notes that the gender pay gap in the C-suite widened during the pandemic after years of narrowing. Understanding transparency and equity rules helps you avoid violations and keep valuable employees.

The session suits HR, payroll, benefits and compensation professionals, compliance officers, in-house counsel, controllers, operations managers, executives, diversity and inclusion officers, union representatives and management consultants.
