Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 resets the statute of limitations clock each time a discriminatory paycheck is issued, which effectively extends the time frame in which a person can file a discrimination lawsuit. It does not require that women be paid the same as men for their work or institute a comparative value for different kinds of work done by men and women. While the act aims to address the gender pay gap, it does not require that pay be "fair" rather than equal.
