Foley & Lardner LLP partner Anne Sekel is quoted in the Bloomberg Law article, “Career Websites Face Emerging Role as Salary Transparency Cops,” discussing New York City’s accusations that some third-party career websites have violated its pay transparency law.
“It’s highly likely that there will be more enforcement actions against third parties because it’s such an effective way to get the enforcement message out,” in any place where the law is written to cover them, explained Sekel.
“By suing the third parties, the state/city enforcement agencies can effectively convert the third-party job search websites and recruiters into enforcement agents in the government’s behalf,” she added.
Sekel’s comments also appeared in JD Journal.
