The Evolving Reality of Pay Transparency: Data, Risk, and Credibility
Wednesday, August 12 at 2pm EST
Speakers: Emily Scace, Samantha Dawber, Sean Concannon
Fresh off its standing-room-only debut at SHRM26 in Orlando, Brightmine and Equifax are bringing the conversation to a wider virtual audience.
Pay transparency laws continue to spread in the US and beyond, with more job applicants and employees coming under their umbrella each year. As the legal landscape becomes increasingly complex, pay transparency is quickly becoming an imperative - not only for compliance, but also for talent attraction, employee retention, company reputation and more.
We are now firmly in the pay transparency era where clarity, currency and credibility are non-negotiable. But pay transparency without a strategic, data-informed approach to salary structure and pay equity can backfire. More than ever, employers need to be able to explain and stand behind their pay practices in order to earn the trust of prospective and current employees and meet evolving expectations around fairness, clarity and pay equity.
This session will focus on how organizations can use pay transparency as a strategic lever by combining reliable market data, structured transparency practices, and clear communication to reduce risk, stay ahead of compliance requirements and align transparency with broader business goals.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the current and evolving US pay transparency legal landscape
- Identify and avoid common pay transparency mistakes and pitfalls
- Integrate salary benchmarking into a pay transparency strategy to support compliance and reduce risk exposure

The Next Wave of Immigration Compliance: Preparing for Increased Enforcement
Wednesday, August 19th at 2pm EST
Speakers: Nathalie Fassie, Tommy Jones
Federal immigration compliance has entered a new phase of increased enforcement, creating greater risk for employers. More I-9 audits, Notices of Inspection (NOIs), and shifting enforcement priorities are making compliance more complex. At the same time, employers must address ongoing employment authorization and reverification challenges while keeping pace with federal and state efforts to expand E-Verify requirements. For organizations with multistate operations or large workforces, the stakes are higher than ever.
In this 60-minute webinar, immigration law attorneys Nathalie Fassie and Tommy Jones of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy will review the latest developments in employment eligibility verification and workplace immigration compliance. They'll provide practical guidance on navigating heightened enforcement activity, including ICE's reclassification of many I-9 violations from technical to substantive violations and the resulting limitations on correcting errors. They will also address common reverification and recordkeeping issues and provide an update on proposed federal and state E-Verify expansions.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify I-9 errors that may now be treated as substantive violations
- Respond effectively to Notices of Inspection
- Strengthen internal I-9 audit practices and compliance procedures
- Prepare for potential expansion of E-Verify requirements
- And more!
