The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is being heralded as a curse for large employers. It dramatically increases the ability for employees to sue their employers for discrimination, including acts that occurred years before, and it opens the door for increased class action and multi-party lawsuits.
Yet, it also presents an opportunity. Employers can use the passage of the Act as a catalyst for adopting best practices, including examining whether your pay equity rewards what you need it to reward, improving your performance management systems, updating your record retention guidelines and adopting core management best practices.
- Understand and comply with the new law.
- Reduce compensation risks and protect your company against potential lawsuits.
