The Equal Pay Act requires these two groups to receive equal wages?

Men and women doing different jobs
Men and women doing the same job
Full-time and part-time employees
Temporary and permanent workers

The correct answer is: Men and women doing the same job

The Equal Pay Act mandates that men and women who perform the same job must receive equal wages. This law was established to address wage disparities based on sex and aims to ensure that individuals receive equal pay for equal work, which includes not just the title of the job but also the job’s responsibilities, skill requirements, and effort. This means if two people—regardless of gender—are doing the same job under similar conditions, they should be compensated equally. While other options may reflect issues related to wage disparity or different employee classifications, they do not align with the specific focus of the Equal Pay Act, which is to remove disparities in pay for the same work based on gender. The Act does not address the pay differences between different job roles or classifications, which is why the correct response emphasizes the need for wage equality among those performing identical tasks.
