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:

- Do employers have to pay for employees to go through security or put on work uniforms?
- Is DEI illegal?
- How is California regulating AI in employment decisions?
- What should employers do when an employee has alcohol or drug addiction?
