The Equal Pay Act of 1963 requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. It is illegal to pay different wages to men and women if they perform equal work in the same workplace. This act covers all forms of pay, including salary, overtime pay, bonuses, stock options, profit sharing, and bonus plans, and any other benefits.
