*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: What is the gender pay gap and is it real? Author: Elise Gould <http://www.epi.org/people/elise-gould>, Jessica Schieder <http://www.epi.org/people/jessica-schieder>, and Kathleen Geier <http://www.epi.org/people/kathleen-geier> Source: Economic Policy Institute (EPI) *Date:* Oct 20, 2016 Summary: Working women are paid less than working men. A large body of research accounts for, diagnoses, and investigates this “gender pay gap.” But this literature often becomes unwieldy for lay readers, and because pay gaps are political topics, ideological agendas often seep quickly into discussions. *Link: *http://bit.ly/2eLdJvq Related: The gender pay gap is real, and here’s who is hit hardest http://cbsn.ws/2eaJj3t ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

CAP: Paid Leave Is Good for Small Business

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Paid Leave Is Good for Small Business Author: Danielle Corley Source: Center for American Progress *Date:* Oct 20, 2016 Summary: Much of the resistance to implementing a national paid family and medical leave program stems from the fear that it would negatively affect businesses, particularly small businesses. Yet research from states that have already passed paid leave laws and evidence from small-business owners in these states shows that these fears are overblown. Paid leave has not harmed businesses; in fact, there is evidence of positive effects on recruitment, retention, productivity, and overall performance and profitability. *Link: *http://ampr.gs/2el2GY8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

How Did Walmart Get Cleaner Stores and Higher Sales? It Paid Its People More

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: How Did Walmart Get Cleaner Stores and Higher Sales? It Paid Its People More Author: Neil Irwin Source: NY Times *Date:* Oct 20, 2016 Summary: It is an idea that flies in the face of the prevailing ethos on Wall Street and in many executive suites the last few decades. But there is sound economic theory behind the idea. “Efficiency wages” is the term that economists — who excel at giving complex names to obvious ideas — use for the notion that employers who pay workers more than the going rate will get more loyal, harder-working, more productive employees in return. *Link: *http://nyti.ms/2eJYEKt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Hiring Job Seekers with Criminal Histories Author: Mark Feffer Source: SHRM *Date:* Oct 19, 2016 Summary: Companies are understandably concerned about the safety of their workers and customers as well as their own assets and public image. But today, many HR professionals are finding that the best approach to hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds is not so different from the one they use for everyone else: to evaluate each candidate on his or her merits. *Link: *http://bit.ly/2eFVkjm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
