Atopics mentioned in the article that would most likely apply to your career (or expected career).

Assume you are the HR Director of a medium to large corporation or the owner of a small business. Draft a memo informing your employees on the topic yourself chose. The purpose of this memo is to keep them up to date on an issue that might affect them or the company. At a minimum, your memo should include:

• A description of the legal issue in a way that your audience could understand it (in other words, read, analyze, then draft your explanation in language that your employees would understand).
• Include an explanation of the current state of that issue/law (this is to help them understand a comparison to what the future might hold).
• A discussion on how your company will address that issue when/if the time comes.

Pay Equity Laws

Many states and cities have banned salary history questions during the interview process. Aimed at combating wage disparities based on gender, these laws generally prohibit employers from asking job applicants about their prior or current compensation and relying on salary history to set pay levels, Orr and Rizzi explained.

California, Delaware, Massachusetts, Oregon, New York City, Philadelphia, Puerto Rico and San Francisco have passed such laws (though Philadelphia's ordinance has been put on hold pending the outcome of a lawsuit challenging the ban).

Some of those laws took effect in 2017 and others will take effect in 2018. More statessuch as Idaho, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginiaare considering similar legislation.
