Speaker Bio: Joy C. Rosenquist has had an illustrious career in the public and private sectors for the past two decades, most recently serving as the assistant chief counsel for the State of California. Joy has litigated matters in state and federal court, defending multiple departments and agencies in the public sector throughout her career. She has practiced labor and employment litigation and advice and counsel work for the past 11 years at the State, with a recent emphasis on implementation of executive orders, legislation, oversight of regulations, and drafting trailer bill legislation.
Joy serves as a California liaison for Littler’s Workplace Policy Institute (WPI). Joy focuses on California state legislative and regulatory developments in employment and labor law, as well as municipal ordinances and regulation of the workplace. She assists the employer community in understanding and impacting California legislation before it becomes law. With Joy’s unique background in governmental affairs and regulatory practice, she is skilled at representing public entities on all facets of statutory and municipal compliance and related litigation and ordinances.
Joy also provides advice and counsel on pay equity and compliance and related employment law issues. Joy is skilled at workplace audits and investigations, having oversight of internal and third-party investigators while employed at the State.
Background, Professional and industry experience Between 2001 and 2011, Joy practiced employment law with several private practice firms in the Sacramento area, developing a diverse practice including public sector litigation and advice work, trade secret and employee misappropriation cases, NLRB arbitrations related to contested elections, a jury trial and administrative hearings at the city and county level. Prior to joining Littler, Joy worked for the State o California. There she was involved with executive management in overseeing regulations, legislation, and coordinating with the Health and Human Service Agency, as well as the Governor’s office on employment law compliance issues. She supervised a legal team of attorneys and handled a wide variety of employment issues in advising public entities. Joy provided house counsel advice on discrimination/harassment/retaliation, COVID-19 compliance, workplace violence, and traditional labor, to name just a few.
Summary of Presentation Coast to coast, states (and even some cities) have begun to implement pay transparency policies. While this employment law trend has noble objectives, including improving pay equity and employee trust, it also presents employers with new compliance pitfalls.
When implementing pay transparency policies, organizations must consider potential ramifications, audit pay rates for existing positions, consider how to establish pay ranges and understand market rates for positions. As jurisdictions continue to pass new legislation, organizations must prepare for these changes, especially those operating in multiple states. During this 60-minute webinar, Joy Rosenquist will provide you with an overview of wage transparency and insights on how companies can navigate this topic.
