What constitutes a violation of the Paycheck Fairness Act?

A violation of the Paycheck Fairness Act is constituted by unequal pay for equal work based on gender. This law aims to address wage disparities between men and women performing the same job under similar working conditions. It emphasizes the principle that individuals should be compensated equally for the same work, regardless of gender, supporting the broader goals of gender equity in the workplace.

The Act also encourages transparency regarding wages and holds employers accountable for discriminatory pay practices. Issues such as promoting based on tenure, making job title changes without pay adjustments, or requiring mandatory training sessions do not inherently relate to gender-based wage discrepancies and, therefore, do not constitute violations under this legislation.
