Recent Executive Orders have introduced uncertainties for companies navigating pay equity and anti-discrimination efforts. With increased scrutiny on DEI initiatives and evolving state, federal, and global pay transparency regulations, many organizations are wondering: What do these changes mean for our compliance strategies?
Despite the shifting landscape, one thing remains clear: ensuring fair and consistent pay remains a critical priority. Businesses are still prohibited from treating employees differently because of gender and race, and the emphasis on eliminating unlawful discrimination for all employees reinforces the importance of regular pay audits and non-discriminatory pay practices.
