Ilyse Schuman, Co-Chair of Littler’s Workplace Policy Institute, talks with Sacramento Shareholder Bruce Sarchet about two new bills pending in the California legislature dealing with the concept of equal pay for equal work. One would prohibit employers from asking about salary history during the job application process, and another would require large employers to file reports regarding pay for men vs. pay for women. Bruce provides background on California’s current equal pay law, discusses national - as well as California state and local - legislative trends surrounding equal pay, and outlines potential future legal challenges.
