Are your male and female employees who do the same job paid differently?

Are your male and female employees who do the same job paid differently?

The idea behind the Equal Pay Act is to make sure that men and women doing substantially the same work do not get paid different wages for that work based on their gender. Jobs must be equal in the amount of skill, effort or responsibility required. Inconsequential differences do not justify wage differentials.

If you only have a few employees. If no two people in your office do the same job, you probably won't need to address this issue at all, but if you have people of different genders who do the same or substantially the same job, you should look at the pay they receive. If you spot differences in pay between men and women for the same work, you should make sure that you can prove that those differences are based on something other than gender.
