The Equal Pay Act requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. It is based on the content of the job, not job titles. The evaluation typically includes skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions. Time on the job, such as tenure or seniority, is not a factor considered under the Equal Pay Act when determining if the work is equal.
