Listen "Pay Transparency – The New Rules Every Employer Needs to Know"
Episode Synopsis
Pay transparency is no longer optional—it's the future of fair hiring. In this 20-minute episode of HR Baddies, host Katie Garcia, MBA, SHRM-CP, unpacks the fast-moving wave of salary-disclosure laws and what they mean for businesses of every size. Katie explains why open pay practices build trust, attract stronger candidates, and close wage gaps, while also detailing the newest state and city requirements and the federal proposals on the horizon. You'll hear real examples of companies fined or publicly called out for non-compliance and learn how remote hiring complicates the rules when applicants live in multiple states. Most importantly, Katie shares a three-step action plan to stay ahead: auditing compensation for equity, crafting transparent job postings, and training managers to have confident pay conversations. Whether you're an HR professional or a small-business owner, this episode delivers the insight—and the motivation—you need to make pay transparency work for your team and your brand.
