One-HR employment law review

As a benefits professional, you’ve likely asked the question, “How do I get better benefits engagement from our employees – not just during open enrollment, but year-round?” You’ve also likely explored tack-on options to your benefits administration platform to hopefully drive engagement – automated communications, wellness, and entertaining avatars to make benefits less scary.

Almost 60 years after the federal Equal Pay Act was first enacted, the gender-pay gap remains. Even accounting for differences in occupations and industries, and a host of other possible explanations, researchers have found that women still earn less than men. That gap is even wider for women of color with gender, race and ethnicity interacting to negatively affect earnings. In this session, Toni S. Locklear of APTMetrics will share the current state of the pay gap in 2022 and discuss the evolving legal landscape surrounding pay equity, including key features of the newer fair pay laws being implemented across the country. She will also review best practices organizations can adopt to support fair pay and identify practices that inadvertently maintain inequities. Finally, she will discuss a rigorous data-driven approach to identifying and addressing pay differences unrelated to education, training, experience, or other job-related factors.
