Discussion #2
Select one benefit and compliance issue identified in Module 3
and share why you feel it is a potentially risky one of which all organizations need to be aware.
Use a minimum of one reference from the class materials. No need to respond to other students.
An important benefit and compliance issue identified this week is the total rewards packages for women. The importance for employers is defined through the Equal Pay Act of 1963. This act puts enforces the idea that equal work should receive equal pay. The act stretches beyond wages and includes employee benefits as well. Important considerations here are wages/salaries, health care plans, and training and development opportunities (LEO Content: UMGC, n.d.). Companies
should take care in ensuring their benefit packages take into account the unique needs of women,
honor their role in family planning, and ensure that opportunities in the workplace are just as accessible as those for men.
