Under the EPA, men and women in the same workplace must be given equal pay for equal work. This applies to jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort, and responsibility under similar working conditions. The Act provides avenues for individuals who believe they are victims of wage discrimination to file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or pursue legal action in federal court.
