The EEOC regulations relating to equal pay use job content as the determining factor in deciding if the jobs are the same, not job titles. This means that even if the job title and description differ, if the job content is the same (i.e. the tasks and responsibilities required are equal), then the employees should receive equal pay. The law does not specifically address race-related pay differences, and overtime pay, bonuses, and stock options are included in determining equal pay. If inequality in pay is found, the employer will need to adjust the salary of the lower-paid employee(s), not the higher-paid employee(s). Additionally, employees can file an equal pay charge through either the EEOC or their state's fair employment practices agency.
