Despite significant progress in gender equality, wage disparities still exist in many workplaces. If you believe you’re not being paid equally for equal work, it’s time to take action. NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC specializes in wage discrimination claims and is dedicated to helping workers in New Jersey recover unpaid wages and fight for fair pay.
What Is Wage Discrimination?
Wage discrimination occurs when an employee is paid less than others for doing the same or similar work based on factors such as gender, race, or other protected characteristics. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and New Jersey’s Equal Pay Law ensure that employees are paid fairly for equal work, regardless of their gender or race. Examples of wage discrimination include:
- Gender-Based Pay Gaps: Women are often paid less than men for doing the same work. This is one of the most common forms of wage discrimination.
- Race or Ethnicity-Based Pay Gaps: Workers of different races or ethnicities should not be paid unequally for the same job. Discriminating against workers based on their race or ethnicity is illegal.
- Unequal Pay for Similar Jobs: Even if an employee’s job title or department differs slightly, they should be compensated equally if their duties and responsibilities are similar to others in the same company.
