Legal Question in Employment Law in California

salary & sexual discrimination

I work for a small company of 40 and am one of the few senior female consultants. The environment is full of male egos and I have had to prohibit them from using some ''words''. In any case, I know my salary is much less than my colleagues who have the same job responsibility. When I have a review, my boss often picks at insignificant items, such as being late. I am rarely late, yet one of my colleagues is often late receives no mention in his review. Is there any recourse to the discrimination in salary?

Re: salary & sexual discrimination

Hello. I am a San Francisco employment attorney.

It sounds like you might have a legitimate claim under Equal Pay Act and FEHA (both prohibit discriminating/harassing employees based on gender). I would need to know more details about the nature and the circumstances of your employment.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Arkady Itkin
