Labor + Employment

Pryor Cashman Partner LaKeisha M.A. Caton, a member of the Labor + Employment and Litigation Groups, is speaking at the Women in Law Section of the New York State Bar Association Annual Meeting 2023.

LaKeisha is participating in the panel discussion, “Women’s Work: New Laws Addressing the Gender Pay Gap,” along with Eden Forsythe (Assistant Director for Policy, New York State Executive Chamber), Sheryl Galler (Partner, Book Law LLP), and Kim Wolf Price (Attorney Professional Development & Diversity Officer, Bond Schoeneck King, PLLC):

Equal pay laws affect every aspect of the job hunt and hiring process, from job postings, to interviews, to salary negotiations and decisions. The new pay transparency rules and salary history bans are the latest additions to the mix. Why do equal pay laws exist, how must organizations comply with them, and do they accomplish their legislative goals? Our panelists, including a representative from the NYS Department of Labor, will present data on the gender pay gap and the negative impacts of the pandemic, resume gaps, and Dobbs on women’s earnings. They will walk us through the equal pay laws and how they affect your rights as a job applicant and your obligations as an employer.
