Wage Discrimination Blog

When it comes to wage discrimination, New Jersey employees have a number of rights and protections. Both state and federal law prohibit employers from paying employees of one sex less than employees of the opposite sex for “substantially similar work.” This means that if you’re doing the same job as someone of the opposite sex, you should be paid the same amount.

Unfortunately, wage discrimination still happens. If you believe you’re being paid less because of your sex, you have options. You can file a complaint with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If your complaint is successful, you may be entitled to back pay, damages, and other remedies.

It’s important to remember that you don’t have to navigate this process alone. If you believe your rights have been violated, contact the Ashton Thomas law firm for help. They can guide you through the process and help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
