Andrew Turnbull spoke toLaw360about U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) cases to watch in 2023.
Pay equity is an area the EEOC has been and will remain keenly focused on this year. According to Andrew, the ongoing proliferation of state and local laws requiring employers to publish salary ranges with job listings, or share pay data at the request of a current employee, will likely spur more claims from workers and give the agency more ammunition to go after employers.
“I think just given all these pay transparency laws of putting pay information in employees’ hands, we’re probably going to see more employees running to the EEOC to make claims, which will give them more of a basis to bring litigation,” Andrew said.
