Legal Services
With so many women
returning to the
rworkforce these days,
it's important for them
to know their rights
under the Equal Pay
Act. Too often, women
employees who don't
know their legal rights
are taken advantage of.
The following situa
tion illustrates a viola
tion of the Equal Pay
Act. You are working in
a department store as a .
.sales clerk. In the spring
and summer, the store
opens a garden center
outdoors, where only the
male sales clerks are
assigned to work. Since
they are working out
side, the male sales clerks
in the garden center get
higher wages.
This situation violates
the law because one of
the provisions for equal
pay is SIMILAR CON
DITIONS. Usually if
jobs have equal skill, ef
fort and responsibility,
they will be done under
similar conditions. Slight
differences, such as jobs
in different departments,
do ' not mean that
workers should get dif
ferent pay.
The Equal Pay Act
was passed to guarantee
that women receive equal.

edUil workIf VdU wdfk -
in a private business that
employs fifteen or more
workers, you are covered
by this act. It also covers
public school, local,
state and federal
employees.
Equal work means
jobs with equal skill,
equal responsibility,
equal effort and done
under similar conditions.
-The Equal Pay Act does
allow different pay scales
based on a seniority
system, a merit system or
a production system.
Regardless of which
system is used, it must be
the same for women and
men.
Equal skill is the ex
perience, training,
education and ability it
takes to do a certain job.
Equal responsibility is
how much the employer
depends on the worker to
do the jod as expeciea.
Some employers try to
hide equal responsibility
by calling women
workers "assistants"
when their respon
sibilities are the same as
the "supervisor".
Equal effort is the

Both checkers are using
