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 do you need to know before tracking employees with tech?
  • What employment laws apply to employees affected by the CA wildfires?
  • Will federal employment law change much during the next administration?
  • What states are considering passing laws governing AI?
  • Can employers force employees to use paid leave when taking FMLA?
