There are many proactive activities that an employer can undertake to enhance the regulatory environment. One activity that can be utilized by an employer is to join a professional association to stay informed of the issues that are emerging and to be able to act and inform others (Milkovich, Newman, & Gerhart, 2017, p. 653). By joining the association and being able to act and inform others, the employer will have a better understanding of the regulatory environment and will be able to better comply. Another activity that an employer could undertake to enhance the regulatory environment would be to review the compensation practices as well as their results (Milkovich, Newman, & Gerhart, 2017, p. 653). Reviewing the practices and results will allow for the employer to know what changes need to be made in order to help enhance the regulatory environment. According to Jiang, Aldewereld, Dignum, Wang, & Baida, authors of “Regulatory Compliance of Business Processes,” “organizations need to design and adjust their business processes accordingly, ensuring that their organizations operate properly within the boundaries delineated by the governmental regulations” (2015, p. 393).
Many laws relate to the administration of compensation and benefits in the workplace. One law in particular is the Equal Pay Act of 1963. According to Milkovich, Newman, & Gerhart, authors of Compensation, “The Equal Pay Act (EPA) of 1963 forbids wage discrimination on the basis of gender if employees perform equal work in the same establishment” (2017, p. 634). As an employer, it is important to be sure to maintain compliance with this law as well as other laws. One way for employers to maintain compliance to The Equal Pay Act would be to consistently review the wages of your workers and to be sure that those who are performing equal work are receiving equal pay. Milkovich, Newman, and Gerhart also state that, “[d]ifferences in pay between men and women doing equal work are legal if these differences are based on any one of four criteria, called an affirmative defense: seniority, merit or quality of performance, quality or quantity of production, some factor other than sex” (2017, p. 634). It is important for employers to pay attention to the laws and to comply to them.
Romans 13:1 states, “[l]et every person be subject to the governing authorities. [f]or there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God” (ESV). While some of the laws and regulations that are put into place may not be liked by all employers, they were put into place for a reason. It is the employers’ responsibility to obey the governing authorities above them, whether they fully agree with the law and or regulation or not.
