Salary.com Compensation and Pay Equity Law Review

Welcome to Salary.com's 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. She and Kent Plunkett, CEO of Salary.com, also have a new book out on Pay Equity, Get Pay Right: How to Achieve Pay Equity that Works!

This week we're asking these questions and even answering some of them:

  • What's the first thing to do when you think about making changes to DEI?
  • Can you make employees take paid leave during FMLA?
  • How do WARN laws treat remote workers when counting employees at a worksite?
  • What are the differences between how employers and employees see compensation?
  • Can workers legally have more than one job at the same time?

Moonlighting and Loyalty

All employees have a common law duty of loyalty to their employer. A duty of loyalty means that they will generally act in the employer's best interest and not do things like steal money or property, reveal confidential information, or compete with the employer while they're employed.
