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 are the legal remedies when an employee develops mental health issues at work?
- What's the latest with DEI and the courts?
- Is discrimination still illegal?
- What's coming with pay transparency?
- How should we analyze AI discrimination laws?
