Does the New Jersey Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act (NJEPA) apply retroactively to claims for unequal pay that predate its effective date? Can a plaintiff-employee pursuing an unequal pay claim obtain discovery of comparator pay data nationwide, or is it limited only to those comparators working in New Jersey? The New Jersey Appellate Division recently considered how far back a plaintiff-employee could seek unequal pay damages and whether comparator pay data was discoverable on a nationwide basis.
