I started working at a nursing home and I get paid less than others?

I started working at this nursing home and I have been told the African American workers get paid a dollar more than the Hispanic workers and I was wondering and it is not because of work experience because I have work experience and others that get paid more many it’s their first job. And there are many Spanish speaking residents so I thought maybe we would get paid more. I was wondering why would that be why would they get paid more than me?

  • If you can prove that they are paying based on race, then you contact the EEOC http://www.eeoc.gov/ and possibly your state board that supervises discrimination laws.

    But, you better damn well be able to prove this, not just going off gossip and rumors from disgruntled employees.
