Signed into law on June 10, 1963, the Equal Pay Act was an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, eliminating pay differentials based solely on sex. The law makes it illegal to pay different wages to men and women for jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility and are performed under similar conditions.
