Despite Enactment of Wage Transparency Pay Equity May Be the 'Sleeping Giant'

"There were pay equity statutes before there were pay transparency requirements which I think are sleeping giants," Christopher T. Wall of Stoel Rives, said. "There is a ton of exposure that, I think, people both on the plaintiff side and on the employer side, are not totally tuned in to. It is good to take stock of pay discrepancies that may exist and to fix those issues. That also helps protect your business from catastrophic liability."
