Paycheck Fairness Act

The Paycheck Fairness Act is proposed legislation aimed at addressing gender-based wage disparities. It seeks to strengthen existing laws by making it easier for employees to challenge discriminatory pay practices, prohibiting employers from paying different wages for similar work based on gender, and promoting transparency around pay. The goal is to close the gender pay gap and ensure fair compensation for all workers. The act also emphasizes the importance of providing employees with information about pay scales and prohibits retaliation against those who discuss wages.
