Equal Pay Attorneys Bay Area

At Olivier & Schreiber P.C., we believe that equal work deserves equal pay—no exceptions, no excuses. Despite federal and California laws designed to protect employees, wage discrimination remains a persistent issue, disproportionately affecting women, racial minorities, and other vulnerable groups. If you suspect you are being paid less than a colleague for doing substantially similar work, you are not alone—and we’re here to help.  

Understanding Wage Discrimination

Wage discrimination occurs when employees performing substantially similar work are paid differently based on gender, race, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics. While the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and California’s Equal Pay Act provide robust legal protections, violations are far too common. These laws mandate that workers performing jobs requiring similar skill, effort, and responsibility—under comparable working conditions—must be paid equally.  

For example, if you are performing the same tasks, meeting the same productivity goals, or managing similar responsibilities as a colleague of a different gender or race, unequal pay may signal discrimination. Additionally, practices such as offering lower starting salaries or fewer opportunities for raises based on gender, race, or ethnicity can also qualify as violations of equal pay laws.  

Signs that you may be facing wage discrimination include:  

• Persistent pay disparities with coworkers in the same role.  
• Punitive responses when discussing wages with colleagues, despite legal protections.  
• A pattern of unequal raises or promotions within your team.  

If you identify these issues, the experienced attorneys at Olivier & Schreiber P.C. can help you take the next steps.
