Repeal of Equal Pay Law SB 202

Email To A Friend
The Equal Pay Enforcement Act became law in July 2009. The purpose of the law is to provide a stronger enforcement mechanism for violations of pay and workplace discrimination by allowing victims to plead their case in the less costly state circuit system rather than having to try to get their cases heard by federal courts. It also provides stronger penalties for employers who were found guilty of discrimination.

SB 202 removes the “enforcement” from the Equal Pay Enforcement Act. This bill would repeal the ability for anyone who’s been discriminated on the job to plead their cases in circuit court.
Authors: Senators Grothman, Galloway, Darling, Lasee, Kedzie, Zipperer and Moulton.

Equal Pay Enforcement Act SB 165

SB 165 seeks to secure equal pay for the thousands of working families who are denied fair pay due to wage discrimination based on race and gender.

Nationally, working families lose $200 billion per year because women are paid less than men for the same work. Wisconsin families lose more than $4,000 per year due to unequal pay. While women nationally earn approximately 77 cents on the dollar compared to men, here in Wisconsin women earn 75% of that earned by males.
