Can a lawyer help me with this situation?

Females' pay should not be less than that of males with equal experience, duties, responsibilities. Employers will raise defenses to such a complaint or charge. An employer's defense may be based on a seniority or merit system which measures the quantity and quality of work or some other "bona fide factor", which might include education, training and experience, but not the male's gender or membership in another protected class such as race, national origin, etc... You should call some employment lawyers. These claims don't come up that often because employees tend not to share their pay rates with each other. And some fear for their own jobs although retaliation is illegal. Without retaliation protection it would be next to impossible to prove such claims. These claims can be good ones, are rarely slam dunks, and sometimes heavily litigated. We need more facts to make a preliminary analysis. All calls are confidential to protect potential clients considering legal action. All licensed lawyers are bound by state ethics rules applicable to the Bar.
