Kamala Harris announces 'Equal Pay Certification' plan aimed at closing the gender wage gap (via CNBCMakeIt)
for every dollar paid to a man. For women of color, that figure is far less —African-American women earn 61 cents to every dollar a white man earns, Native American women earn 58 cents and Latina women earn 53 cents.an ambitious plan released today"For too long, we've put the burden entirely on workers to hold corporations accountable for pay discrimination through costly lawsuits that are increasingly difficult to prove," Harris wrote on her.
To receive this certification, Harris says companies will have to prove that they have eliminated all pay disparities between men and women who are doing equal work. If a pay gap does exist, then companies will have to demonstrate that it exists based on merit, performance or seniority, and not gender.
Additionally, under Harris's plan, companies would be required to report statistics on the number of women in leadership positions and the number of women who are top-earners at the company. In addition to gender, companies will also be required to collect and release data about how their employees are paid by race and ethnicity.
