Ledbetter Case / Pay Discrimination

The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (H.R. 2831) would allow employees to file a claim within 180 days of any paycheck that has been diminished as a result of discrimination, even if the discriminatory act took place decades ago. Going beyond reversing the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Inc., it eliminates the statute of limitations for most pay discrimination claims.
