Pay Equity and Transparency

Ep232: Our friend and compensation aficionado Michael Maciekowich joins the program to offer insights into Pay Equity and Pay Transparency.

Is your organization conducting pay equity audits? How much of the results should be shared with the staff? And how can you make pay transparency part of your compensation strategy? All this and more on This Week at Work.

Lawyer on the Clock:

6:11 - A new law was signed last year to begin the middle of this year called the Pump Act: Provide Urgent Material Protections for Nursing Mothers Act. Here’s a link to the updated DOL poster: Fact Sheet #73: Break Time for Nursing Mothers under the FLSA | U.S. Department of Labor (dol.gov)

8:15 - The EEOC has issued new guidance on employer use of artificial intelligence, and making sure AI does inadvertently discriminate. 

13:14 - The Eighth Circuit Court issued a ruling regarding ADA accommodations as it relates to service animals.

Philburt’s Phorum:

15:55 - Monique surprises us with a less-than-compelling argument on why she can be used for unbiased recruiting… and become a cohost. You’ll have to watch to see if Phil and Bert are swayed. 

The Employers’ Lounge

19:56 - As pay transparency laws are going into effect, if you haven’t already been transparent with your ranges, it’s time to really look at if you have issues with pay equity. Are your pay ranges based on performance or experience or other factors? 

24:33 - If you do find any discrepancies in your pay structure, it’s best to work with your labor attorney who will work with us to immediately start a more detailed audit and provide a report.
