Concurrent Session:
Best Practices for Pay Equity,
Diversity, and Inclusion
presented by Joanna Kim-Brunetti, Esq. & Mark Dwyer, Ph.D.
This session will teach executives, lawyers, HR personnel, benefits and payroll managers, DEI, compensation and total rewards leaders about the evolving pay equity landscape taking shape across the country, including California and Illinois equal pay acts and the shifting focus on DEI in ESG reporting.
States such as California, New Jersey, Oregon, Colorado, and most recently Illinois have enacted their own equal pay acts that work in tandem with the federal Equal Pay Act. Employers with operations in these jurisdictions will need to comply with new equal pay requirements, including the submission of annual pay data reports of employees’ gender, race, ethnicity, pay, and hours worked data for states like California and Illinois.
In this webinar, Trusaic will provide you with updates to the pay equity landscape and take you through the nuts and bolts of the various laws, including best practices for preparing for the new requirements, the benefits of DEI monthly monitoring, how ESG reporting is becoming a focus, what employers need to do to reduce risks stemming from workforce data, and how data can reveal systemic problems within organizations. Trusaic will also bring you up to date on all of the latest guidance and expert interpretation surrounding these laws.
Learning Objectives include:
1. Gain an understanding of the evolving pay equity landscape, including the stringent new amendments to the Illinois Equal Pay Act, which require employee data reporting and equal pay certification
2. Learn how the Biden administration may create additional federal requirements for employers
3. Understand the connection of DEI with ESG reporting
4. Discover the benefits of conducting proactive pay equity audits and monthly DEI monitoring
5. Be introduced to strategies and best practices for remediating pay equity findings
