European Union

USA

With pay transparency and equity requirements tightening across both the U.S. and Europe, understanding how equity fits into the broader pay equity framework has never been more important. This session will explore how companies can proactively manage compensation fairness, mitigate legal risk, and prepare for upcoming EU regulations. Experts will discuss how to incorporate equity awards—such as RSUs, options, and performance grants—into pay equity
analyses and offer practical steps for compliance across regions.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

Understand why U.S.-based companies should routinely conduct pay equity analyses under federal and state laws—and how equity awards factor into those reviews.
Learn how to value and integrate equity compensation (RSUs, options, performance grants) into pay equity assessments to ensure accurate and defensible results.
Gain insights into the EU’s new pay transparency and equity testing requirements—and how U.S. companies can conduct “look-ahead” testing now to identify and address potential compliance gaps before implementation.
