Equal Pay

What Is Required to Win an Equal Pay Lawsuit?

From Chris’ interview for the Masters of Employment Law on ReelLawyers.com

What Is the Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act?

The Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act, which is an amendment to New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD), was signed into law on April 24, 2018. The Equal Pay Act requires employers to pay employees protected from unlawful discrimination because of a protected characteristic under the Law Against Discrimination the same as nonmembers of protected classes for “substantially similar work” unless the pay differential is justified by a legitimate business necessity. In addition to being one of the nation’s toughest equal pay laws, it also contains some of the toughest anti-retaliation prohibitions in the country.
