Wage Discrimination

Every worker deserves to be compensated the amount of money that is rightfully owed to them based on job experience, education or training, and other applicable qualifications. Although it is normal for some people to get paid less for a similar job with similar qualifications, it is not always legal, depending on the circumstances. For example, someone with the exact same experience and skills may be getting paid far, far less than a co-worker who has basically the exact resume. If it can be proven that is based on reasons such as gender, or other personal reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with job performance or job ability, you may have a case of wage discrimination.
