compensatory damages for the harm she alleges she suffered at the hands of the Wampanoag County Health Department.\u00a0 Ms. Marbury claims that (1) the County discriminated against her on the basis of sex by paying her less than similarly situated male employees because she made less at her former job and (2) the County fired her in retaliation for protected speech.<\/div>\n<p> \n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Can a public employer consider an employee\u2019s prior salary in setting the employee\u2019s starting salary when the result is a gender-based pay discrepancy?\u00a0 Can a County Health Official responsible for COVID-19 press briefings be fired for retweeting information her employer dislikes?\u00a0 You tell us!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>
