Salary.com Compensation and Pay Equity Law Review

Our editor, employment lawyer Heather Bussing, is tracking legislation, cases, and analysis to give you the latest critical HR topics.

This week we are thinking about and sometimes even answering these questions:

  • Why are some states and courts trying to restrict the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act?
  • Could your wellness program violate the ADA's restrictions on disclosing medical information?
  • What are the people writing about the SCOTUS Starbucks decision missing?
  • Would you like an injunction with your latte?
  • Is it time for an inclusion checkup and checklist?
  • What's going on with the challenges to the FTC ban on noncompete agreements?
  • Do you know about our new book on pay equity , Get Pay Right?

Take some time to get familiar with the PWFA so that you're there to provide flexibility and support to employees who really need it. It's an opportunity to make a difference in the care people receive. You may even help save a life. Or two.

Before you create either incentives or penalties for employees related to pay, benefits, or any other condition of employment, consider who may not be able to participate and who may get penalized in ways that discriminate.

What a lot of people writing about Starbucks v. McKinney miss is that nobody has really won anything yet. This case is all about procedure and burdens of proof on an order at the beginning of the case. The case itself has not been decided. And nothing has changed.

What happens next is that the case goes back to the trial court to start over.

June is a great time to review policies and check your employment law compliance. Inclusion is for everyone.
