Equal Pay for equal work?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
No law requires equal pay for every employee performing the same job function. If the pay differential is the product of discrimination on a basis precluded by law, you may have a claim -- but you do not set forth any such facts.

Fired after questioning my sups relationship with another employee. i was told i was fired for leaving my computer on, but i believe its retaliation.

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Generally speaking, an employee may be fired for any reason or no reason at all, at any time; this is the essence of "at will" employment in America. The fact that the employer had an "evil" or retaliatory or personal motivation for the termination does not, without more, render it wrongful. Your stated facts do not give rise to a claim for discriminatory discharge, breach of contract or "whistleblower" status.... Read More

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer

My verbal job offer was removed and I was told they hired someone else.

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
This is always an interesting and heartbreaking fact pattern when it arises. Employment in the United States is on an "at will" basis. That means, simply, that the employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason at all. Thus, the breach of a contract for at-will employment results in no damages. Sorry.... Read More
