Conducted on Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will prepare employment counsel to use statistical analysis to avoid and defend pay inequity claims. With the recent Novartis trial and other cases as background, the panel will offer strategies for implementing proactive audits, selecting statistical models, and developing jury presentation strategies.
Description
Employers in the current legal and political environment face a dramatically changing scenario involving employee compensation. The environment is rife with pay discrimination claims carrying potentially large exposure for employers.
Contemporaneously, Congress is considering significant changes to the governing laws, and the enforcement agencies have announced heightened scrutiny and increasing investigative efforts.
From class certification to determination of liability to estimation of damages to comments to juries in aid of litigants' arguments, statistical analysis currently plays a critical role in employment litigation. Statistical modeling is likely to become even more significant in pay equity matters.
Listen as an employment attorney and statistical expert explain employers’ increasing risk exposure to pay discrimination claims. Using the recent Novartis trial and other cases as background, the panel will prepare employment counsel to use statistical analysis to avoid and defend against claims of pay inequity.
