Relatives


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I was employed with the company for 3 years as a manager and now my boss hires his step-son and makes me his boss on the paper but gives him much higher (almost 20 %) salary.
Prior to hire I was the one to calculate average salary for his position in the area and it came up to my salary range, I was shocked when he gave him even more money. He has no college education, when I have bachelors degree and working on my masters plus I have seniority in the company. Is this legal?

So long as you don't work for the government.

Yes. There is no requirement for YOU to get more pay or less pay than someone else.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

There is nothing illegal with nepotism in the private sector.
