With the revocation of Executive Order 11246 (EO 11246) many federal contractors are uncertain what their non-discrimination compliance obligations are, especially for compensation. The short answer is simply that, “very little has changed” as it relates to compensation.
Although the annual AAP requirement to review your pay systems has been removed, federal contractors – and indeed most employers –still need to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and state and local pay transparency and pay equity laws.
Employers who wish to manage their compensation discrimination risk exposure need to complete regular compensation analyses, but from a different lens than perhaps they were using for proactive OFCCP audit preparation.
In this webinar, we will unpack the following topics:
