"The greatest tragedy in America is not the destruction of our natural resources, though that tragedy is great. The truly great tragedy is the destruction of our human resources by our failure to fully utilize our abilities, which means that most men and women go to their graves with their music still in them." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009
By Patsy Wiggins, President & COO, The HR Group  By now, I'm sure you have at least heard of Lilly Ledbetter and the Fair Pay Act that was signed into law on January 29, 2009. What does that mean to companies?
Basically it eliminates the old rule of employees having to file a claim of discrimination within 180 days. Each time an employee gets a paycheck it starts a new 180 days, so this Act allows an individual to bring discrimination claims many years after an alleged act of discrimination occurred. Lilly Ledbetter's claim was based on gender; however, the Ledbetter Act will extend the statute of limitations for filing claims for all protected classes which includes gender, age, color, disability, race, religion and national origin. The Act is retroactive to May 28, 2007 and applies to all pay discrimination claims pending on or after that date.
What should you be doing to ensure there are no discriminatory practices in your company?
