Understanding the recent California Fair Pay Act amendments and the rising tide of equal pay claims is “comp”licated. Employers want to ensure they pay employees fairly and without discrimination. The latest broad expansion of California’s Fair Pay Act (CFPA) is making sure employers do that, and more. In January 2016, the CFPA, went into effect protecting only on the basis of gender and has been expanded to cover race and ethnicity, effective January 2017.

In addition, other recent changes to the law create new challenges for employers and compel us to be more proactive in examining our pay systems. Internal pay claims, government agency investigations, and litigation are only expected to rise, so join us to understand what is needed to find and fix the issues you may currently have.
