Pay Equity and Pay Equality – There Is A Difference



Join Jonathan Light, of Light Gabler, for an in-depth look at pay equity and pay equality.

The talk covers the new pay transparency laws and reviews the issues surrounding pay equity and pay disparities caused by systemic pay inequity.

Takeaways:

  • The new California pay transparency rules
