Greta Bauer Reyes is featured in a Minnesota Lawyer article exploring how employers are adapting to the state's new pay transparency law. Greta examines the law's impact on hiring practices and how businesses are ensuring compliance. She notes that employers have been preparing by reviewing compensation policies and updating hiring practices and procedures.
