Webinar
Solving the pay equity puzzle: Pay transparency and other key considerations
Aired: 17 July 2024
Duration: 45mins
In this webinar:
Pay transparency laws continue to spread rapidly in the United States. Fourteen states and counting have now enacted a law requiring employers to disclose pay ranges for open positions.
As pay transparency moves into mainstream employment practices, it is critical for employers to develop a solid strategy to meet compliance requirements and incorporate transparency into their organizational structure.
Join Brightmine Senior Legal Editor, Emily Scace, and Pay Equity Analytics Expert, Swetha Viswanathan, as they discuss the state of pay transparency laws in the United States, compliance leading practices and tips for advancing pay equity.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The latest information on enacted and pending pay transparency legislation.
Key steps (and what to avoid) when implementing a pay transparency strategy.
How to integrate pay transparency into a larger pay equity strategy.
Tips for using pay equity audits to achieve pay equity goals.
Pay transparency is just one piece of the larger pay equity puzzle. Employers that are committed to pay equity must also examine their compensation practices to identify and remedy the root causes of any disparities they uncover. Pay equity audits are a critical step on this journey. By systematically analyzing employee compensation to find and fix unjustified pay gaps, employers will be in a stronger position both to implement pay transparency practices and reduce the risk of costly litigation.
