My salary is very low compared to the salary bracket defined by my company for my particular job position. Others within the company with the same job are paid within that bracket. Is this a form of discrimination?
Hi ****,
Thank you for your response. It seems like the salary disparity might be due to the acquisition of the company.
General Information:
- Employers must comply with both federal and Minnesota state laws regarding equal pay.
- Discrimination based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, public assistance status, age, sexual orientation, or membership in a local human rights commission is prohibited.
Could you please confirm if you believe the lower salary is due to any of these specific factors?
no
Hi ****,
Thank you for confirming. Since you don't believe the lower salary is due to any of the listed discrimination factors, it might be an issue related to the terms of the acquisition or company policy.
- Minnesota law requires employers to honor existing employment contracts unless renegotiated.
- Consider discussing with HR or legal counsel about your employment terms.
Is there anything specific you would like to explore further in this matter?
