#wrongful discharge

Being paid less than men for performing comparable work? No doubt, as that's just another example of male privilege run amok. If you work in NY, the law is now far stronger than the federal Equal Pay Act. You're entitled to share salary information with co-workers, and now any gender pay disparity must be linked to legitimate, actual non-sex based reasons for paying you less than men doing the same job. The penalties against the employer are now substantially increased. Make sure to document your suspicion and/or complaint of unequal pay so you'll have proof that you gave your employer every chance to rectify the sex-based pay discrimination before suing them.

Wrongful discharge in New Jersey is a legal term for an unlawful firing. The law protects people from management misconduct in breaking the reasonable expectations of employees. This could be based on breach of contract, a violation of a Collective Bargaining Agreement, breaking an implied covenant of fair dealing, retaliation for an employee’s “whistleblowing” activities, or the employer’s unlawful discrimination/retaliation against you based on your protected classification.
