Fisher & Phillips, an Atlanta-based labor and employment firm that rebranded itself earlier this year, announced Monday the formation of a pay equity group that seeks to assist clients in what some experts predict could be an active area of litigation in 2017.
“With litigation related to both the federal Equal Pay Act and the California Fair Pay Act expected to increase in the coming year, it will be important for employers to understand the changes related to the scope and application of these laws,” said a statement by Fisher & Phillips employment partner Lonnie Giamela. “The pay equity practice group was formed to help our clients understand and comply with these adjustments, including the detailed and demanding reporting requirements.”
