Gordon and Doner Fight For Those Suffering from Worker Discrimination

The Palm Beach wage and hour lawyers at Gordon and Doner are available to fight for those suffering from worker discrimination.  The Fair Labor Standards Act clearly states that employees in all sectors of business must receive a fair pay of minimum wage or greater for their time on-the-job.  Sadly, though, there are cases where employees do not receive a fair and decent wage for their billable hours.  If you or a loved one has suffered from unfair wages or wage discrimination, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation.  To find out if you have a case, visit http://www.fortheinjured.com/wage-discrimination.html for a free case evaluation and further legal information regarding wage and hour lawsuits.  The wage and hour attorneys at the firm are offering a free consultation with no obligation.

Too often, employers cheat their employees out of their due wage. Workplace discrimination happens in various different ways.  The most common examples of workplace discrimination are unpaid overtime, unpaid commissions, missed work breaks, and salaries that are less than minimum wage.  Hourly workers are protected from illegal and unreasonable employer demands and must be paid for their hours worked.

Because of the frequency of wage discrimination, state and federal regulations have been enacted to protect wage and hour employees.  There are two major acts currently in front of Congress in order to protect hourly workers from the harsh reality of workplace discrimination; The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and The Paycheck Fairness Act.    

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is aimed at reversing a US Supreme Court decision in order to collect back pay within a statute of limitation.  Under the Lilly Ledbetter Act, employees will be able to file a complaint within 180 days of the last discriminatory action against them from their employer.  Furthermore, this allows the wronged employee the right to legal recourse upon any instance of wage discrimination.

Additionally, the Paycheck Fairness Act is a continuation of the Equal Pay Act of 1963.  The goal of the Paycheck Fairness Act is to force the state and federal government into harsher punishments for those violating ethical pay standards. This act will also prevent employers from penalizing employees who share wage information and put precedent for removal of gender discrimination.
