Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act: Take Action Now
On January 29, 2009, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law.
The Act's passage means that employees are no longer under time limits of when they can file a lawsuit if they feel they have not been fairly paid for the job they perform. What does this mean to you the employer? It could mean that a current or former employee can suddenly take action against you under the new act and Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
BLR's legal and editorial staffs are experts, and after their review of the Act, they have compiled a translated overview that will put you in the know.
