Descripción:

The Equal Pay Act prohibited gender-based wage discrimination in the United States. It was signed by President Kennedy in 1963 as an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act. The law required equal pay for equal work by forbidding employers from paying men and women different wages or benefits for doing jobs that require the same skills, time and responsibilities. The bill was one of the first laws in U.S. history that aimed to reduce gender discrimination in the workplace.
