Webinar
Pay transparency laws: Navigating compliance for multistate employers
When: 2pm ET, Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Duration: 60 minutes
Pay transparency has moved from a developing trend to a baseline compliance obligation – with laws currently in 15 states and the District of Columbia, and a new law soon taking effect in Virginia. This particularly affects employers operating across multiple states or managing remote and hybrid workforces. Multistate employers must understand the rapidly evolving pay transparency landscape and how overlapping state and local laws create compliance risks that extend beyond job postings and affect recruiting, promotions, transfers, employees’ access to pay information and more.
In this 60‑minute webinar, Littler attorneys Kelly Cardin and Joy Rosenquist will provide a practical overview of wage transparency laws and offer actionable guidance on how employers can manage compliance while ensuring consistent, defensible pay practices across their workforce. They’ll explore the careful planning needed for implementing a pay transparency strategy, including auditing existing pay practices, establishing compliant pay ranges, and aligning transparency policies with broader compensation and equity strategies. They will also highlight where multistate employers face the greatest exposure for significant legal and operational risk.
Attendees will learn:
- How to establish “good faith” pay ranges that withstand regulatory scrutiny
- How to manage multistate recruiting and hiring in a complex pay transparency landscape
- Ways internal mobility and remote work can trigger unintended pay transparency violations
- Important recordkeeping practices for documenting compliance
- And more!
