The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, signed by President Obama in 2009, expanded workers' rights to sue employers on equal pay issues. The act was named after Lilly Ledbetter, a woman who discovered late in her career that she had been paid less than her male colleagues for years. The act allows workers to sue within 180 days of receiving any discriminatory paycheck, rather than from the date of the first discriminatory paycheck. This expands workers' ability to hold their employers accountable for unequal pay practices.
