Gender-based discrimination in rates of pay to employees, whether male or female, is prohibited by the Equal Pay Act of 1963. The Equal Pay Act is directed at wage discrimination between the sexes and forbids the specific practice of paying unequal wages for equal work to employees of the opposite sex. If you find that you are getting paid a different wage than the opposite sex for a job that requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which is performed under similar working conditions, than you may have a claim under the Equal Pay Act.
