Suspending Police and Fire Employees Without Pay Pending Termination – The Rules Change Dramatically Starting June 1, 2009


Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
President Obama signed far-reaching bill on January 29, 2009

President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act on January 29, 2009. The Act, which applies retroactively to May 28, 2007, extends the statute of limitations for pay discrimination claims, expands the definition of unlawful pay practices, and broadens the scope of persons who may file claims.
Employers fear the new Act will create a flood of lawsuits from employees, both present and past, alleging years of discrimination in compensation practices. Avoiding and defending the lawsuits will cost employers thousands of dollars in back wages, litigation expenses, and compliance costs.
