The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act of 2009 changes the statute of limitations for a claim under Title VII and the EPA for an unjustified pay difference between male and female. The Act resets the statute every time a person received an unequal pay check, but permits recovery for all past unequal pay received by the claimant going back two years.
Opponents of the law argue that this creates a huge potential liability for an employer for actions for back pay. What are the pros and cons of this law? State reasons for the pros and cons.
