Monday night, a U.S. District Court judge gave the go ahead to a new regulation that would require companies with more than 100 employees to report how much they pay their workers — broken down by gender, race and ethnicity — and would be a crucial advancement in rooting out discriminatory pay practices and narrowing the gender pay gap. Pay reporting was supposed to start in 2017, part of a regulation started during the Obama administration. The Trump administration tried to stop it though. Because of course. Back in 2017 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a stay, stopping the rule from going into effect. The agency claimed that the rule was too onerous for companies and didn’t adequately address privacy and confidentiality concerns. “Ultimately, while I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results,” Ivanka Trump said at the time. Several women's groups sued -- and finally this week they scored a decisive win! Companies could start reporting their numbers as early as May.
