How does the Equal Pay Act relate to other employment laws?
The Equal Pay Act complements other employment laws aimed at promoting fairness and equality in the workplace. For instance, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 further strengthens the Equal Pay Act by extending the statute of limitations for filing equal-pay lawsuits.
