Reference no: EM133190821

Case:

You will be looking for the NH statutes that relate to employment discrimination. Employment discrimination claims require that a person be in a "protected class". When you find the NH Statutes, list all the classes of protected individuals. Find which classes are protected under Federal law. Are these classes different than under NH law? Does NH cover any classes not covered under Federal law? What are the differences? Does NH prohibit discrimination in areas besides employment? What is the process in New Hampshire to file a claim for discrimination? What agency is it filed with and what happens to it. Please properly cite all sources used in responding to these questions.

Tuesday, March 15, 2022, was called the Equal Pay Day, a national observance. The assignment is to write a paper that will address the questions below. You can provide a paragraph or two for each of these. You will need to research and properly cite what you use. Remember to use standard, college level, writing and correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and such. Here are questions and prompts to guide you.

Question 1: What is Equal Pay Day? When and where did it start? Who started it? Is it an actual holiday? What does it represent in terms of the pay of women and that of men? (question-why March 24? Can that change?) What is the difference nationally in the pay of women to men? What is the difference in NH? Higher or lower than nationally?

Question 2: Find out what the law says about this both nationally and in the state of New Hampshire. Check such agencies as the EEOC, US DOL, and the NH HRC.

Question 3: What was the Lilly Ledbetter Act? Who was Lilly Ledbetter and why is this named after her? What was her U.S. Supreme Court case about? What is/was the ERA? What is its current status?
