Compensation and Gender Discrimination

Great article by Anne Bares in Compensation Cafe on how to avoid discrimination in compensation. In a recent and important pay equity case, Drum V Leeson Electric Corp., sounds a cautionary note to employers and appears to signal pretty definitively that there are some excuses that will not stand in defending gender pay differences.

Specifically, employers may not rely on superior negotiating skills - or the market - as a rationale for pay disparities between men and women doing the same job.
