How do I know if I’m being paid unfairly?

Pay disparities can be identified by comparing your total compensation including salary, bonuses, equity, and benefits to colleagues in substantially similar roles. Our team can help evaluate your situation.

Does SB 642 only protect women?

No. SB 642 protects employees of another sex including non binary individuals and also addresses disparities based on race and ethnicity under California law.

Can I file a claim while I’m still employed?

Yes. Employers cannot legally retaliate against you for exercising your rights. Many claims are filed while still employed.

What does it cost to hire Empower Law?

Nothing upfront. Cases are handled on a contingency basis and you only pay if you recover.

What’s the difference between an individual claim and a class action?

An individual claim seeks recovery for your personal pay gap. A class action groups employees with similar discrimination, often resulting in larger total recoveries and systemic change.

My employer offered a reason for the pay difference. Does that matter?

California law requires pay differences to be justified by factors like seniority, merit, productivity, or experience. Generic justifications may not meet legal standards.
