Assignment: UNDERSTANDING HAPTICS, PROXEMICS, AND THE FAIR PAY ACT
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
A vital challenge that remains to enforcing equal pay laws is pay secrecy. If women do not even know that they are underpaid, they cannot take steps to remedy the pay gap. For example, Lilly Ledbetter (a female manager with Goodyear in Alabama) was paid less than her male co-workers for decades without realizing it until someone took a risk and slipped her an anonymous note. Despite the advancements of the Lilly Ledbetter law, named for a woman who fought against her own pay discrimination (i.e., was receiving approximately 40% less than her male counterparts for the same job), the President of the US said more needed to be done.
Write a persuasive essay regarding your position on the Fair Pay Act. Should all managers (regardless of gender) working for the same organization be paid the same amount? Should organizations have to disclose salaries both internally and externally? If there is pay transparency, how will this impact job performance, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment levels?
