    CEO Performance Evaluation Methods

    Question: “My company is looking for a better way to evaluate the performance of our CEO. It seems like “stock value” has been the primary way to do so, at least historically.

    The Pay Equity Issue

    Question: “I’m confused. I’m hearing and reading a lot about the issue of “equal pay for equal work,” especially in this 2016 political season. I thought we already had an equal pay law that protects females?” Answer: We do! It’s called the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and was intended primarily to protect females in the workplace from pay discrimination, although fifty one years later, it is also protecting males who work in female dominated occupations. Briefly, it says that a ma
