I’m Doing The Same Job As Someone Else…But Getting Paid Less!

Question: I found out my employer is paying me at a lower wage rate than those hired after me. This is the SECOND time this has occurred with this employer. Do I have any legal recourse in this matter?

The Judge’s Answer: You are entitled to the wages you were contracted for. However, if you think your employer is paying you less for doing the same job as someone else due to your race, gender or religion, you should contact the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), you may have a discrimination claim against your employer.
