21 dez 2021 ano - The Paycheck Fairness Act Fail after it's fourth attempt

Descrição:

The Paycheck Fairness Act was first introduced in 1997, and again in 2009, 2014 and 2021. It has passed the House four times only to fail the Senate.

The act is an amendment to the 1938 Fair Labor Standards and builds on the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

The bill would make it easier to enforce prior legislation by requiring employers to prove why a pay disparity exists.

It also bars employers from asking employees about their salary history and establishes avenues for recourse if workers feel their employers are paying them unfairly.

It also prohibits retaliation for inquiring about, discussing, or disclosing the wages of the employee or another employee in response to a complaint, charge or investigation.
