2019 Technology May-rathon: Global Pay Equity Issues – “Fair vs. Unfair”

There is no one size fits all approach to employee pay.

Pay equity is a complicated matter – as many businesses have found. Taking into consideration all of the factors that differentiate one worker from another, it is not easy to determine what is fair and to avoid the legal challenges which come from increased openness and transparency. The press is full of stories of global businesses who get it wrong and the damaging impacts on employees and the business as a whole. Although it is a complex management challenge, pay equity issues cannot be ignored and progressive businesses need to deal proactively with the challenges; in terms of attracting and retaining talent, as well as protecting company reputation. 

In the employment team at Morgan Lewis, we are seeing a trend towards more openness and transparency on pay at a global level and in this webinar, our employment experts from the UK and US will discuss this hot and sometimes uncomfortable topic, as well as providing tips and guidance for employers.
