AACA Meeting: June 16, 2009
Summer is just around the corner and half of 2009 is almost gone. There has been a lot of activity in Washington during the first six months of the year under the new Administration’s leadership and a shift of control in the Congress. One specific event that directly affects compensation professionals is the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Our June 16th program focuses on this act and it titled:
The Return of the Pay Discrimination Class Action: How Should Employers Evaluate Their Compensation Practices in the Wake of New Federal Laws?
New federal laws, such as the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, are increasing the ability of employees to sue over systemic pay discrimination by expanding the situations where employees can point to pay differences as a basis for their claims. This program will address the legal and practical effects of the legislation, the greatest risk areas in employer compensation plans and both the dangers and advantages in conducting compensation self-audits as a way to preempt pay discrimination claims under the new laws.
We are pleased to have Antonio D. Robinson from the law firm of Littler Mendelson as our speaker on this topic. Mr. Robinson represents and advises management clients in connection with all types of labor and employment matters arising under federal and state law, such as Title VII, the ADEA, FLSA, and the Davis-Bacon Act. Mr. Robinson has successfully defended management in state and federal court litigation throughout the country.
This timely legislative update and the tips for preventing unfair lawsuits for your organization make attendance at this meeting extremely important. Compensation professionals as well as HR generalist will gain valuable information and ideas from this program. Mark your calendars today to learn more about this important topic.
