The Equal Pay Act aims to combat wage discrimination based on gender by ensuring equal pay for equal work.
The Act covers all forms of compensation, including wages, bonuses, stock options, and benefits like health insurance and vacation pay.
Equal work is defined as work with similar duties or criteria performed under similar conditions in the same or similar establishments.
Violations can lead to penalties, fines, lawsuits, negative media exposure, and loss of talented employees.
Organizations can ensure compliance by documenting job duties, avoiding wage differentials based on sex, and educating managers and supervisors about the law.
