Re: wage differences based on sex
The federal law that requires males and females be paid that same amount when performing the same job is called the Equal Pay Act or EPA. It is enforced by the EEOC or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. You may want to visit the EEOC web site at www.eeoc.gov or speak with an attorney.
