David G. Schiller represents North Carolina employees in a wide range of employment law cases — including equal pay case.
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a federal law that amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and prohibits wage disparities based on sex.
Section 206(d)(1) Prohibition of sex discrimination, states:
(1) No employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions, except where such payment is made pursuant to (i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex: Provided, That an employer who is paying a wage rate differential in violation of this subsection shall not, in order to comply with the provisions of this subsection, reduce the wage rate of any employee.
