Pay Equity Compliance in the Workplace: Preparing for the Next Wave of California Lawsuits

Eric Sohlgren and Amy Patton of Payne & Fears LLP, along with Amy Aukstikalnis, Senior Economist at Welch Consulting, presented a timely and informative seminar on critical insights and potential strategies to meet pay equity goals. This event was co-sponsored with ADP.

Achieving pay equity is not only a California requirement and a way to differentiate yourself from the competition, but it’s a way to get ahead of the next wave of employee lawsuits that will challenge employer pay practices in court. Tackling these issues proactively can save you from legal and management problems now and later down the road. Employers must be aware of the law but also how to review their current hiring, job evaluation, and pay practices to ensure they are compliant and defensible. The complexities of legal requirements and pay data can make it difficult for leaders to know where to begin and how to develop policies to promote and realize pay equity.

Join our event and get critical insights and potential strategies from a panel of employment lawyers and a economics and statistical expert you can use to meet your goal of pay equity. During this live breakfast seminar, you will learn about:

• How California pay equity laws are now the most aggressive in the nation
• How plaintiff’s employment lawyers are planning the next wave of class action lawsuits
• How to use and implement pay equity audits to develop and uphold pay equity strategies
• The role of pay data in setting policies and data gathering
• Protecting audits from discovery in litigation
