The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires the payment of minimum wage and overtime to covered employees, but it does not specifically address equal pay for equal work regardless of gender. The correct law that mandates equal pay for equal work between males and females is the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which is actually an amendment to the FLSA but was not listed among the options provided. Given the options, none directly require the payment of the same wages to males and females for work requiring equal skill, effort, and responsibility in similar working conditions as described in the question. Therefore, my initial response was incorrect as it mistakenly identified the FLSA as addressing equal pay for equal work based on gender, which is specifically the purview of the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
