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 should employers consider before deciding on layoffs?
- Are Executive Orders the same as laws?
- What's new in pay transparency state laws?
- Is it even possible to have AI that won't get things wrong?
- Can tech solve employee time tracking issues?
Uncertainty, Fear and Layoffs
Do not make decisions based on fear. Get the facts, find expertise. Just because it hasn't happened to you or happened this way before, doesn't mean there aren't lots of people who have insight and wise advice. Get curious and ask for help.
Why EO's Are Not Laws
Executive Orders are not laws. Why? Because under the United States Constitution, the legislature, aka Congress, makes laws. The President does not make laws.
State Pay Transparency Resource
Pay equity is part of workplace fairness. Pay discrimination is prohibited by both federal and state laws. Pay transparency is part of pay equity but there may or may not be requirements that apply to you other than don't discriminate in pay.
