Salary.com Compensation and Pay Equity Law Review

 

Our editor, employment lawyer Heather Bussing, is tracking legislation, cases, and analysis to give you the latest critical HR topics.

 

This week we're answering the questions:

  • Are people really messing with job seekers then stealing their personal information?
  • What does the Supreme Court case on job transfers mean for discrimination cases?
  • Will Maryland get more pay transparency?
  • What are the new rules regarding benefits?
  • Are people either discriminated against or rewarded because of their looks?
