Equal Pay Act of 1963

The video discusses the Equal Pay Act, which prohibits sex-based wage discrimination. It requires equal pay for equal work under similar conditions. The act is closely related to Title 7, which also addresses gender discrimination. Legal actions often rely on statistical evidence of past employer practices. The Lilly Ledbetter Act extends the timeframe for filing claims to 180 days from when the discriminatory act is discovered, rather than when it occurred.
