Beyond Analyses: First Principles Thinking for Fair Pay Practices

Chris Patrick and Michael Giarratano, Jackson Lewis P.C.

Pay analyses focus on the current state—not how you got there.  With the evolving landscape, employers must get ahead of their pay practices to provide transparency and messaging.  This requires fair systems, not analyses.  Come join this discussion on common practices that can get us in compensation-related hot water, and considerations for how to get out. Topics include:

• The causes of pay inequity
• Best practices to prevent pay inequities
