Equal Pay Claims

Taking a stand against wage discrimination to protect your rights

All Workers Deserve Equal Pay

I am in your corner to get you the fair treatment you deserve

I am in your corner to get the fair treatment you deserve. Being paid less than your coworkers for the same work is incredibly stressful, especially when facing powerful employers. If you’ve experienced wage discrimination that violates California law, I will stand by your side to fight for your rights and hold your employer accountable for their actions.

Understanding Equal Pay Rights

I will help you understand your rights and protections under California law

The California Equal Pay Act prohibits employers from paying employees less than employees of another sex, race, or ethnicity for substantially similar work. This applies when the work requires similar skill, effort, and responsibility performed under similar working conditions.

The law covers all forms of wages, including:

  • Regular earnings and salaries 
  • Overtime compensation 
  • Fringe benefits 
  • Pension plans 
  • Profit sharing 
  • Medical insurance 
  • Bonus plans 
  • Life insurance

  • I could truly go on and on about this AMAZING WOMAN. I was clueless and so scared reaching out to a lawyer about my case. But Jillian was with me through every step. She was so thorough and had no problems explaining anything I didn’t understand. She made me feel os so much value and I am so grateful for her. In the end I won my settlement. Because of her legal expertise, I always refer everyone to her.

  • Fairchild Employment was a true godsend for me and my family. I was extremely stressed and ready to give up on my case, when I first met Jillian…We clicked immediately, and I knew everything would work out. It’s rare to meet someone so knowledgeable, relentless, and confident who leads with humanity and empathy. Everything felt easy throughout the time we worked together. I got justice and hopefully, a friend for life. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Jillian and this exceptional practice.
