This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses New Mexico's new equal pay law, the Fair Pay for Women Act (FPWA), which prohibits wage discrimination on the basis of an employee's sex and allows employees to bring wage discrimination claims directly in court, without first filing a charge with an administrative agency. The FPWA applies to all employers with at least four employees and provides prevailing plaintiffs with injunctive relief, damages, attorneys' fees, punitive damages and potential treble damages. The FPWA is effective June 2013.
