Gender. Race. Age. Laws have long prohibited employers from taking such factors into account in setting pay and other compensation. “Equal pay for equal work” is the standard. But what constitutes “equal work”? And with an increasingly diverse workforce comprising individuals with unique professional backgrounds and skill sets, how do employers weigh their compensation packages for “equality”?
Our panel will explore these issues and offer guidelines for employers seeking to guard against equal pay claims. Greenberg Traurig employment attorneys Raquel Lord and Michael Slocum, joined by Berkeley Research Group economist Dubravka Tosic, will explain what the equal pay laws require, what they prohibit, and what employers can do to stay on the right side of the line.
