Pay Equity In the Era of COVID and the Black Lives Matter Movement

Most employers traditionally consider issues of workplace fairness from the perspective of legal compliance rather than from the viewpoint of a commitment to a principled, moralistic, and value-based system.

Equal Employment Opportunity statement at the front of our handbook? There it is. Employment law posters? Yep, right there in the breakroom.
