Join us to discuss the intricacies of the Massachusetts Pay Equity Law in depth and learn what steps can be taken toward compliance and how to implement best practices in fair pay. Ensuring that men and women are paid equally for “comparable” work can be more complicated than it sounds. What is “comparable” work, and when is it acceptable to pay employees differently? When does it make sense to conduct a pay equity audit? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks? What does it mean to conduct a pay equity audit in “good faith”?
