Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Written by Enrique Esclusa, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Assemble How do you decide what to pay an employee? This is a simple and important question with a complex answer. With a volatile labor market, global inflation, and the continued rise of distributed work, it has never been more difficult to answer this question. Traditionally, HR teams have primarily relied upon two sources of data to inform decisions: salary datasets, compiled and distributed by third-party consultants such as Radford and Mercer; and candidate data collected by recruiters asking prospective employees about their salary expectations. Now, advances in legislation and technology are changing the way companies think about and handle compensation. In many states such as California, it is now illegal to ask candidates about their salary. Additionally, the rise of pay transparency laws have open-sourced new insights about what organizations are … [Read more...] about Real-Time Market Compensation Data Is Not A Panacea

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Jacob Chansley—whose horned fur hat, American flag face paint and bare chest made him one of the most recognizable January 6 rioters—was released from prison and sent to a halfway house earlier than scheduled this week, which some right-wing figures are celebrating as a victory following a push for his release. Key Facts Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Scott Taylor said Chansley was moved Tuesday from his low-level-security prison in southeastern Arizona to a halfway house in Phoenix, where he will be released May 25. Chansley—who also went by “Jake Angeli” and was known as the “QAnon Shaman”—was set for a July release following his 2021 guilty plea for obstructing an official proceeding, after he joined the mob invading the Capitol and became one of a handful of rioters who stood at the presiding seat of the Senate dais. Chansley was first arrested and jailed days after the January 6 riot, and … [Read more...] about ‘QAnon Shaman’ Jacob Chansley Released Early From Prison After Jan. 6 Conviction

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched a personal attack against President Joe Biden on Thursday, as negotiations between the White House and GOP lawmakers surrounding two high-stakes fiscal issues—the debt ceiling and the federal budget—are deadlocked. Key Facts McCarthy offered Thursday to meet with Biden “tonight” to discuss increasing the U.S.’ federal borrowing limit, offering to bring “soft foods” to a White House lunch if Biden would agree to a sit-down, in what appears to be a ham-fisted attempt to ridicule the president about his age. (At 80, Biden is the oldest president in history.) The offer is a non-starter, however, as the White House has repeatedly called on Congress to pass a debt ceiling increase with no strings attached and said it will not negotiate with Republicans on increasing the borrowing limit, which the federal government is expected to reach some time in late summer. … [Read more...] about McCarthy Mocks Biden Amid Debt Ceiling Standoff—Offering To Bring ‘Soft Foods’ To Negotiating Table

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Calls for the immediate scaling back and even discontinuation of fossil fuel use have grown strident again recently, on the heels of this month’s release of the final installment of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. It spawned urgent rhetoric like that from United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres , who said, “…it is possible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees [Celsius] with rapid and deep emissions reductions across all sectors of the global economy.” His comments were accompanied by yet another round of demands for an immediate halt to funding of any further hydrocarbon investments . That comes in the wake of last year’s anti-fossil fuel mania, when the news was dominated for weeks by the actions of activists from groups like Just Stop Oil . They made headlines by trying to destroy precious works of art and gluing themselves to roadways, all in the name of fighting climate change through their demand … [Read more...] about Want Clean Energy?
