The US Supreme Court ruled in 2007, in the Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. case that an employee must challenge a pay discrimination issue within 180 of "the employer's initial decision to discriminate". The employee does not have to know the discrimination is taking place. The new congress will address this issue with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The court ruling was a 5 to 4 decision.
