Equal Pay Lawsuit

Attorneys with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (”EEOC”) announced in a June 17, 2009 EEOC Press Release that an international military contractor will pay $110,000.00 and furnish other relief to settle an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by the EEOC in Arizona.  According to the EEOC Press Release, agency attorneys charged in the lawsuit that the company discriminated against three female temporary employees by paying them less than male employees who performed the same job duties and by not making them permanent employees.  See, http://www.eeoc.gov/press/6-17-09a.html . 

Whether employment related unequal pay occurs in New Braunfels, San Marcos, San Antonio or elsewhere, victims of pay discrimination may contact the EEOC and an attorney or lawyer to determine if an equal pay lawsuit may ultimately be appropriate under the particular circumstances and facts of the potential pay discrimination claim.
