Salary.com Compensation and Pay Equity Law Review

Welcome to Salary.com's Compensation and Pay Equity Law Review.

This week we're answering the questions:

  • How can employers recruit service members and become part of their transition to civilian life?
  • What do we think about the lawsuit against Lizzo and how can we prevent hostile work environments?
  • What are the issues in regulating AI?
  • Is it okay to round time for hourly workers?
  • Do I have to use digital I-9 verification?

What if your organization could have fast learners who know how to put training into practice? And what if they could work for you for six months at no cost?

Discrimination and harassment are abuses of power that cause trauma for the people forced to deal with it. It's a health and safety issue for your employees. They have a legal right to a discrimination and harassment free workplace.

If you like Lizzo, drama, or want to know how to prevent workplace harassment, this article is for you.

Here's why.

I-9 verification is kind of boring, but it's a required part of the hiring process. And now states are requiring that you use the digital verification process.

This article does an excellent job of explaining what you need to know.
