Pay Equity! The New Tsunami for Employers!

In the wake of the social justice movements and a nationwide push towards greater equality, transparency, diversity and accountability, it is expected that pay equity will be a focus for the Biden administration in the coming year. Pay equity issues are gaining the attention of employees and, in turn, becoming of increasing concern for employers.

Multi-million-dollar settlements of class action equal pay claims have gripped the headlines. What will these potential changes mean for employers when it comes to decisions surrounding compensation and matters of pay equity? Employers are likely going to see sweeping changes and a significant amount of scrutiny regarding pay equity. Furthermore, potential changes will likely focus on not only the gender gap but on race-based pay differentials.

The Paycheck Fairness Act was reintroduced into Congress in January 2021. This proposed federal legislation is aimed at amending the federal law prohibiting wage discrimination on the basis of sex. The bill would make it more difficult for employers to justify pay differentials for men and women.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would also make it unlawful to prohibit employees from disclosing or discussing information about their wages, prohibit employers from relying on salary history in setting starting pay, enhance existing prohibitions against retaliation and increase penalties under the federal law.

Why Should You Attend?

Employers are also likely to see more aggressive enforcement actions by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) in the area of compensation. In addition, federal contractors – and other employers – are likely to see the revitalization of the federal EEO-1 “Component 2” reporting requirement that involved the disclosure of pay data to the government.

The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) is still processing claims of allegation of pay discrimination. These claims are still being investigated and litigations have increased. Do not be left open to pay discrimination allegations before you address your pay equity gaps.
