Strong Representation in Equal Pay Issues
Employers are required to pay male and female employees the same wage for equal work under similar working conditions. The work must:
- Require equal skill (experience, training, education and ability)
- Require equal effort (amount of physical or mental exertion required to perform the job)
- Require equal responsibility (degree of accountability involved)
- Be performed under similar working conditions.
In some cases, employers are justified in paying men and women different wages for performing substantially equal work. This occurs when, in setting pay, the employer relies upon a seniority system, a merit system, a system that measures earning by quantity or quality of production, or a differential based on any factor other than the sex of the employee.
