Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 amended the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to allow an employee to file a lawsuit over pay discrimination within 180 days of receiving any discriminatory paycheck, rather than 180 days from the original discriminatory act. This was in response to the Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., which ruled that the 180-day time frame for filing a pay discrimination claim starts from the date of the initial discriminatory decision, even if the effects of that decision are not immediately apparent.
