Except - I contacted a law office on this. I was pre screened by their paralegal. She said the federal law says I had to file a claim within 180 days. It had been over a year. That’s because I didn’t know until later that I was the lowest paid by about $10K. I had the most experience and education and was hired during Covid when employers had great difficulty getting employees. The ages were 30, 31, 30, and 60. I was 60. I was the lowest paid. 5 months later, they hired a 29 year old at $5K more than I was making. I asked HR to correct it and they said they were not going to confirm the other salaries and that I was not paid inequitably. So… they can get away with it if you don’t find out on time.
Some states have laws in addition to the federal laws that allow a longer statute of limitations. In Washington state, the SOL under state law is 3 years. Check with your state.
How about different pay among all employees. If you’re making less than a new hire even after working decades for the company & having more qualifications?
So if an employer offers the exact same job to 2 different females at a difference of over $10/ hour is that a biolation? The female who was offered the higher wage has seniority but literally zero experience. The employee who was offered $10 less/hr has years of experience.
@@edhones it most definitely is and I have extensive proof. Just trying to figure out if I should seek a state or federal attorney. I live in a very male dominated state, rated 50th for pay equality and I would much prefer an out of state attorney who will represent my interests aggressively. Is that something I could do or would they need to be licensed in my state?
Can those laws also work in reverse if a male is paid less for a substantially equal job... And also would that law include overtime pay???.... Say an employer demoted your job-title in order to exclude you from recovering fringe benefits, IE overtime , and cut your hourly pay which adversely affected 7 male employees within the organization, for an job which job related contents are substantially equal to the females position... Would that constitute pay discrimination as well as age discrimination????
How does that work though? If you find out your company pays men more than women when hired (same job tasks- no previous experience) bc the male coworker told you how much the were able to negotiate, and you know how much you and other women were paid. But upon hiring I think they tell you to not disclose your pay with other coworkers. Will companies be able to lean on that? and what will be the proof /basis that you sue them ?
It’s so irritating bc my company has more women because they can hire us for less.. so they try to hire more been but throw money at them upon hiring bc they want men to work there. So I’m training men with no experience who are making a LOT more than me… it’s so hurtful and sad. Even when I got promoted and negotiated, I’m still making less than the guy I trained who’s still in the entry level position.. AND they work remotely in a much cheaper state. None of it makes sense.
You should always disclose your pay with other coworkers. Some states have laws that protect your ability to do that. If you have evidence of the pay differential, that can be enough. Talk to a lawyer.
Do these Laws Extend into UK Military? for instance without a doubt i am doing the same job as others in the same building with the same job title but they are a higher rank and higher paid.
what about my same sex coworker gets paid more even though i hv more seniority than her by a few years? she does hv a bachelors over me but our jobs are entry level and we both quit and came back. prior to our quitting, i made more than her but since our coming back to the same position she got way more. granted her job between jobs paid a lot more than mine.

How would this work in a state that does have equal pay laws? Would that be a federal issue or am I just out of luck?
There are federal protections and state-specific protections. If you think this is happening, talk to a lawyer.

If those 7 males are protected??... Age 40+
Yes, it works both ways.

What about men and the difference in pay doing the same job? Is there a difference
Yes, it goes both ways. It's just more common the other way.
what about my same sex coworker gets paid more even though i hv more seniority than her by a few years? she does hv a bachelors over me but our jobs are entry level and we both quit and came back. prior to our quitting, i made more than her but since our coming back to the same position she got way more. granted her job between jobs paid a lot more than mine.
