Equal Pay: Understanding How Your Organization Rates Against the Law, Trends and Movements
Equal Pay is offered next from 9 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Sept. 26 at HASC’s offices in downtown Los Angeles. Download the brochure below for an in-depth view of the program.
Session Description
Recent years have seen legal and social trends aimed at increasing gender-based fairness and transparency in the workplace. These issues are at the core of social movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp, and employers are taking notice in order to attract and retain talent — while deterring litigation. In 2016, California became a trendsetter in adopting the nation’s most robust state equal pay law. Not surprisingly, these legal and cultural changes are generating increased litigation, changes in hiring and arbitration and separation agreements, as well as new laws — including the salary history ban.
