Lilly Ledbetter was a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. employee in Alabama who sued the company over alleged pay bias. She lost her 2007 battle in the U.S. Supreme Court, but now she's won the war in Congress.

Two brand-new federal laws will boost employee protections against gender-based pay bias:

• The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 overturns the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Ledbetter case and gives employees more time to sue.
• The Paycheck Fairness Act protects employees who share salary information with their co-workers, stiffens penalties for employers caught engaging in unfair pay practices, and opens many new loopholes for plaintiff's attorneys.

The Fair Pay Act has just been signed into law by President Obama; the Paycheck Fairness Act is expected to become law any day now. The time to prepare is now. Join us on March 23 for an in-depth audio conference all about these two new federal laws and what they mean for California employers. Our speaker—an experienced California employment law attorney who's dealt with many fair pay cases—will discuss proactive strategies for auditing your current pay practices and reducing your legal risks.

YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL LEARN:

• The basic components of each law - what they mean for California employers and how they'll affect your workforce
• How to conduct an extensive in-house audit of your existing compensation policies and pay levels to identify and rectify possible inequities
• Best practices for monitoring pay levels and practices going forward to prevent future equal-pay claims
• The hidden loopholes and danger zones in each law that could make it easier for your workers to file pay-related claims and lawsuits
• What you can do right now to protect your organization against pay-related disputes and litigation
• The steps you should take when employees complain about perceived pay inequities
