The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act allows employees to file discrimination complaints within 180 days of their most recent discriminatory paycheck, regardless of how long ago the discrimination occurred. In this case, Mona just discovered the wage discrepancy, so she can still file a complaint under this act. The Civil Rights Act and Age Discrimination in Employment Act have different requirements and limitations, while the Equal Pay Act only applies to wage discrepancies based on gender.
