Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reducing the compensation of some employees to equalize compensation is not a lawful or ethical approach to remedying disparities in pay. The Equal Pay Act aims to eliminate wage disparity based on gender for employees performing substantially similar work, and reducing someone's pay could be seen as punitive and could potentially lead to legal issues or employee dissatisfaction. The other options focus on increasing fairness and compliance without diminishing anyone's current compensation.
