Christina Heischmidt (Partner-McLean, VA) puts a spotlight on equal pay in her article “Eye on Compliance: Women's Soccer Puts Equal Pay in Focus,” published in the August 31 posting of Law360’s Expert Analysis. She concludes, “Employers can eliminate potential implicit biases and disparate treatment by setting forth parameters for pay based on skill, effort and responsibilities. A standardized system or pay structure may help alleviate the potential pitfalls of taking a subjective approach, which may disparately harm women in the workplace.”
