State & Federal Equal Pay Act Defense Attorneys in Oklahoma

A wage differential lawsuit can be devastating to your business. If your business is subject to state and federal Equal Pay Act laws (e.g., Title VII), you can be sued for paying wages to employees of one sex at a rate less than the rate paid to employees of the opposite sex for equal work on jobs that require equal skill, effort and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions.

Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable lawyers are experienced in defending employers from wage differential claims brought under Title VII and the Equal Pay Act. We know the ins and outs of employment law, and our expert attorneys can help you should you become the target of an equal pay investigation by the EEOC or the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

We can also help determine whether you are legally exempt from these laws under exceptions to the Equal Pay Act. Such exemptions may be based upon an employee seniority system, employee merit, production metrics (i.e., quantity or quality of production), or upon any factor other than sex.

If you are facing legal claims based on disparity in wage rates among male and female employees, trust Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable to take your side.
