Worcester Equal Pay Violations Lawyers

Trusted Worcester Equal Pay Violation Attorneys Ready To Fight For You

Equal pay for equal work: it’s only fair. However, all too often, employees discover that they are being paid less than their coworkers because of their gender.

Even though Massachusetts was the first state in the U.S. to adopt an equal pay law in 1945, a serious gender pay gap still exists. For instance, women in Massachusetts earn about 83 cents for every dollar earned by men. The Massachusetts Equal Pay Act is designed to protect employees from gender-based pay discrimination. The Equal Pay Act requires equal pay for comparable work – in other words, jobs that require similar skills, effort, and responsibility and are performed under similar working conditions.

Under the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act, employers:

May not discriminate in employee salaries or wages based on gender
May not prohibit employees from talking to their coworkers about their wages or benefits;
May not ask about a job applicant’s salary or benefits history before making a job offer that includes the applicant’s terms of compensation;
May not reduce an employee’s seniority due to pregnancy or protected parental, family, and medical leave; and
May not fire or otherwise retaliate against an employee for making a complaint about unequal pay practices or exercising their rights under the Equal Pay Act

Client Testimonials

Kevin represented me in a sexual harassment case against my former employer and former supervisor. He did a superb job in the case. The case went to trial at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and Kevin’s performance at the trial was outstanding. His cross-examination of the employer’s witnesses was very impressive. He also prepared me thoroughly for my testimony and made me feel very confident. We won the case and I was awarded a large sum of money in damages. It was a ground-breaking case because I was the first man to successfully sue for sexual harassment by a female supervisor. I felt vindicated and supported and was very fortunate to have Kevin as my attorney. I would very much recommend Kevin to anyone who has experienced sexual harassment, discrimination or any unlawful conduct in the workplace. He not only cares about his clients and has vast experience, but he also is professional and thorough as an attorney.

I was very jaded with the legal system, as I had met with several law firms and was not impressed by anyone. I am so happy that I made an appointment with these lawyers. During the first five minutes of my initial consultation, I knew that I had found the right firm. They were exactly what I needed because they were compassionate and took the time to listen to me and validated my feelings. I was very impressed with their legal skills and how they well they fought for me. The opposing counsel did not stand a chance against them and the financial compensation that I received far exceeded my expectations. I will be eternally grateful and would highly recommend them.

Massachusetts Employment Lawyers represented me with an employment issue: trying to return to work after brain surgery. What impressed me most was their ability and passion to hold a client as a human being and not an hourly income or commodity. They put a great deal of thought into the merits of my case and presented me with various possible outcomes. That in itself was impressive and showed what a strategic and thorough lawyers they are. They go way beyond that. They willingly share their compassion and let you know that foremost, you are a human being in need of an advocate, during a very stressful time, and offer you a real human behind the lawyer.

I was originally nervous about proceeding with a lawsuit against my former employer. Chris made that process easy and made me feel protected and comfortable. He was patient, honest, and always answered my questions in a timely fashion. They were always there for me and were easy to talk to and fought for me the whole way, and won me a settlement I didn’t think was possible. I would recommend Chris to anyone who has a workplace problem.
