Paying on the basis of one's age is illegal in the United States under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, which prohibits employment discrimination against individuals 40 years of age or older. Paying on the basis of the nature of jobs or one's skill level is not illegal, as long as it is not used as a cover for discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, or other protected characteristics. Similarly, paying on the basis of pay comparisons with competitors is not illegal, although it may not be a recommended practice if it leads to unequal pay for equivalent work.
