Partner Nina Pirrotti Featured on NBC Connecticut to Discuss a New Wage Transparency Law

Sep 17 2021

Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Fitzgerald & Pirrotti, P.C. Partner Nina Pirrotti appeared on NBC Connecticut on September 15th to discuss a new wage transparency law with Dan Corcoran. You can watch the full segment here.

The new law, which goes into effect on October 1, 2021, requires employers to disclose a position’s salary range to prospective and current employees. On NBC Connecticut, Nina explained the impact that this law can have on women in the workforce. Nina states that “The law is simply designed to put women on notice as to whether or not they’re being paid equal to their male counterparts. And it gives them the opportunity to actually find that information out right out of the gate. Now, women will have that information right from the get go.”

Nina also discussed the benefits that this wage transparency law has to offer for both employees and employers. She says that “The goal is to avoid the lawsuit altogether. Employers have until October 1 to re-evaluate how they are paying their employees to look down deep and determine whether or not for the same or comparable jobs they are paying their women and their men equally. They can discover their mistakes now, they could rectify them now and they can get ready with salary ranges that make sense based upon objective criteria, and not based upon anything else like gender.”

    Client Experiences

    You will never meet a more knowledgeable and compassionate professional than Steve Fitzgerald. My employment situation was very complex, and Attorney Fitzgerald kept me focused while remaining extremely adept and “thinking on his feet.” Should the need present itself again, I would never seek anyone else’s counsel regarding employment issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. — J.R., New Haven, CT

    Nina Pirrotti provided outstanding legal advice and was trustworthy, dependable, and responsive. From the start, I was confident that her knowledge and experience would obtain favorable results. On a more personal note, I enjoyed working with her and her staff and felt I was included in every part of the process. The dedication, concern, and interest in me as a client was greatly appreciated, and Nina has earned my highest recommendation. — J.H., Monroe, CT

    Josh Goodbaum truly outperformed my expectations. He was calm and steadfast throughout the entire process. He is a great communicator. Together, we were able to lay out a plan that in the end, not only got myself the outcome I was hoping for, but undoubtedly saved me valuable time and money as well. I cannot thank Josh and his firm enough for coming through for me in this time of uncertainty and stress.  — D.T.

    When I go to a lawyer for advice, I am usually anxious, particularly the first meeting. Amanda DeMatteis was clear in describing my options and immediately set me at ease. Realistic assessment is important, and Amanda was clear as to how to set up the case and the direction she felt we should go. I had total confidence in her abilities and knew I was being well represented against a large corporation. More importantly, we were successful! — N.M., Haddam, CT
