EQUAL PAY FOR MEN AND WOMEN

The Law Office of Robert Wiley, P.C. represents employees in workplaces where men and women are not paid the same. If you believe that you are not paid as much as other employees because of your gender, please contact us.

The Equal Pay Act requires employers to pay male employees and female employees the same wages for the same work. In all too many work places, male employees, particularly managers, are paid more than their female counterparts. In some instances, women employees are paid more than male employees. Regardless of the gender being impacted, an employer must pay men and women the same when they perform the same work.

In 2008, the Congress passed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. This law ensures that employees can bring equal pay claims regardless of when the employer began its discriminatory pay practice.

Often, equal pay claims are brought as class actions.

If you believe that you have been paid less than employees of the opposite gender, please contact us.
