The COVID-19 Pandemic and Downstream Risk: What Companies Should Do Now to Protect Themselves Against Government Investigations and Enforcement Later

Webinar | 04.07.20, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:00 AM EDT

The scale of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s response through the CARES Act presents multiple investigation and compliance risks for companies responding to the constantly evolving crisis. 


Please join us for a wide ranging discussion of what companies can do now to prepare for and mitigate that risk, whether related to their workforce and domestic operations, network infrastructure and online presence, increased corruption risk in international operations, or acceptance of federal assistance under the CARES Act.

A Deep Dive into the EU Pay Transparency Directive and the US Experience on Equal Pay 

In Collaboration with the IBJDuring this webinar we will dive into the European Directive on pay transparency that entered into force in June 2024 and has to be transposed for June 2026 in all EU Member States. This European Directive has the ambition to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women, for all employees in all sectors. The Directive brings significant new reporting obligations and assessment obligations on employers that the EU Member States will publish. How will you have to calculate the threshold to know if your company as an employer falls under the scope of the Directive? And what happens when there is a gap in the equal pay? What will you have to do as an employer? What kind of enforcement does the Directive foresee? Lastly, did you know that in the US there is an Equal Pay Act that has been in force since 1963? How has that statute been applied in the US and what are the differences and similarities with the European Directive? Our special US guest will teach us some interesting US-insights.  ...
