Employment attorneys say corporations are bracing themselves for federal proposals that focus on systemic pay discrimination among federal contractors. What's got employers nervous, lawyers say, is a government recommendation that contractors evaluate their own compensation practices to catch any potential discrimination. The fear is that information obtained in the self-audits will eventually wind up in the hands of plaintiffs attorneys looking to file suits.

Employment attorneys say corporations are bracing themselves for audits that could disclose flaws in how they pay employees and trigger future discrimination lawsuits.
The anticipated audits grow out of federal proposals to adopt new standards for analyzing systemic pay discrimination among federal contractors, which make up about a third of all Fortune 500 companies. The U.S. Department of Labor proposals are pending approval by the Office of Management and Budget.
