4 ways Obama could change your recruiting plans
The Obama administration’s already brought some big employment law changes — and there’s likely more where that came from. Here’s a rundown of recently introduced bills that could impact your recruiting efforts:
1. Fair Pay Act of 2009
An amendment to the Equal Pay Act, the FPA would prohibit employers from paying lower wages for jobs dominated by women and minorities compared to “equivalent” jobs worked mostly by men. What are “equivalent” jobs? According to the legislation, they’re “jobs that may be dissimilar, but whose requirements are equivalent, when viewed as a composite of skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions.”
In other words, employees would be able to sue for wage discrimination because someone working a different job in a different department is paid more.
