Pay Clarity or Pay Confusion? A Guide to Recent Developments in Pay Transparency Laws.
Several years ago, Virginia expanded protections for employees who share pay information. In recent years, however, several other states and localities have gone farther, enacting expansive pay transparency laws imposing obligations on employers to share pay data, a broader trend requiring pay scale disclosures in job postings, which may impact your compensation practices, especially if the organization utilizes remote workers. This session will explore this trend and how your organization could be affected.
