Employment Law - Run-a-way Train - Ledbetter

Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Applies to all employers. The effective date for this new law is retroactive to May 28,2007. The Law applies to all claims of discriminatory compensation pending on or after that date. However,i t applies to more than compensation, also included is discrimination in race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. The Act substantially changes the statute of limitations in filing discrimination claims against employers for alleged discrimination.

I know what you are probably thinking by now, how many changes to employment law can a Company absorb? Unfortunately, there are more to come. We have a new administration with a determined agenda. As Bette Davis once said in a movie, "put on your seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy ride".
