Pay Strategies for Remote Workers: Stay Compliant & Competitive
Summary
Today’s remote workplace opens up a nearly unlimited talent pool for employers, but it also opens up a new host of challenges when it comes to setting employee compensation.
Many employers are now considering basing salary on where a remote employee is located, rather than where the organization is headquartered. This approach may give some relief to the compensation budget, but employers must also consider federal and state wage laws, plus the impact it could have on their ability to keep and recruit top talent.
In this instructor-led, 60-minute event we will take a close look at:
- Keys for researching salary compensation in the remote market
- Risks of targeting “lower cost of living” areas for remote applicants
- The impact of using this approach during the “Great Resignation”
- Using federal pay scales to determine how locality-adjusted pay affects salary
- How to prove you hired the “best person for the job” regardless of locality
- Recordkeeping requirements when making salary compensation decisions
