Bill > A981

Introduced Session

This bill provides the victim of gender-based wage discrimination a gross income tax exclusion for any awards or settlements that the victim may receive, to prevent a second mistreatment by the tax system. A "successful" victim of unlawful gender discrimination in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment who has brought a claim to trial or settlement agreement may receive an award or settlement to compensate for a period of under-compensation, only to discover that the lump sum payment has pushed the victim into a higher tax bracket and an increased tax bill. This bill provides a gross income tax exclusion for awards and settlements for gender-based discrimination in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.
