New Rules Call For Heightened Scrutiny Of Government Contractors’ Pay to Women
Draft rules from the U.S. Department of Labor clarify how the government will investigate pay disparities between men and women, according to a report in the Hartford Courant.
“It just puts contractors on notice there’s going to be a broad review of their compensation practices,” said Dean Singewald II, an associate at the Stamford office of Epstein Becker Green, who defends government contractors around the country in Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs reviews.
That department, in the U.S. Department of Labor, is the one that published the notice of new rules Jan. 28. Contractors or other members of the public will have a chance to critique the new rules through March 31, the Courant reports.
