President Obama signed his first Bill today. As expected, he signed into law the The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The Fair Pay Act extends the period an employee can file a claim of discrimination for making less money than another worker doing the same job. In regards to today’s signing President Obama stated: “[T]here are no second class citizens in our workplaces, and that it’s not just unfair and illegal — but bad for business– to pay someone less because of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion or disability…” That’s all well and good. I don’t think someone should be paid less based solelyupon gender, age, race ethnicity, religion or disability. However, are we to now ignore an employee’s actual job performance. It seems like we are traveling down a very slippery slope. It certainly will be interesting to see how all of this is going to play out in the courts.
