What are the compliance and regulatory considerations, including rules that differ state-to-state? How do firms navigate questions, prompted by pay bands in job postings, from existing employees? A presentation by Charlie Apfelbach, from the compensation consulting group at Ferguson Partners, will follow an introduction to the concepts, and we will end with a whole-room discussion guided by live polling.
