Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Favoritism Salary

Can a person living in a state with a lower cost of living, be paid the same wage as someone with the same title? Can a company be sued for favoritism if they pay a person living in a less expensive area the same wage as someone with the same title, in a more expensive place to live?
