Today is Equal Pay Day - the date to which women have to work (on average) to make equal pay to their male counterparts for the previous year. Double-check your employees' salaries to make sure they are being paid equally for equal work. Not just because it could save you a discrimination lawsuit, but because it's the right thing to do.

Attorney Trang Pham says that the Pasha Law value of Courtesy resonates most strongly with her because, "I believe that you treat people with the respect that you expect to receive, and in situations where things can become contentious, it's important to keep that in mind."
