What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I began working for a school in 1991. My boss and I were both hired a few weeks apart and we were the only staff. He was the manager, I was the tech.
Between 1991 and 2000, he was promoted to Director and when he left in 2000, he was replaced by another Director. However, over the past 13 years, I have assumed the majority of the duties and responsibilities of the Director who will be retiring this year.
Twice in the last 6 years, the Director has submitted paperwork for my promotion to manager. In 2007, the Director submitted my job description to Human Resources who replied that the job description was a Manager's job. The paperwork from the Director even stated that I had been doing the job of manager for some time already, yet my promotion was declined in favor of 'Supervisor' at significantly less pay.
In 2012, the paperwork was submitted again, this time with the job description altered to include even more duties and responsibilities. Human Resources requested a reason for these additional duties and the paperwork was submitted with the notation 'previously the duty of the Director.'
Again, I was turned down and instead given the position of Coordinator, again at significantly less pay than Manager.
I have the original job description for manager that my first boss initially held. My duties and responsibilities include all of those of Manager and have now had most of the Director's duties added as well.
Both my original boss and the Director who is retiring this year are men and I am a woman. Do I have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit?
Thank you,
