<br />The Fight for Pay Equity: A Federal Road Map
<br />3
<br />Updated February 2017
<br />In 2015, US. women working full time, year-round were paid just 80 percent of US. men's median earnings - a gap
<br />of 20 percent. While a portion of this gap can be explained by various factors, an apples -to -apples comparison looking
<br />at workers one year out of college and controlling for factors known to affect earnings, such as major, occupation, and
<br />hours worked reveals there is still an unexplainable 7 percent gender pay gap. Despite this persistent gap, the Equal
<br />Pay Act has not been updated since 1963. Immediate legislative and executive action is needed to enable women to
<br />bring home the pay they have rightfully earned.
<br />Issue executive orders and memoranda expanding pay equity protections.
<br />President Barack Obama signed several orders to address gaps in federal equal pay protections - thereby
<br />protecting segments of the civilian workforce from pay discrimination despite congressional gridlock.
<br />Preserve regulations enforcing executive actions. The final regulations issued by agencies
<br />to protect workers must be maintained and actively implemented.
<br />Q Prohibit retaliation against employees of federal contractors who talk about their salary with their co-workers
<br />o Collect summary pay data by gender, race and ethnicity through the EEO -1 form (begins March 2018)
<br />ID Require federal contractors to disclose labor law violations (Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Order)
<br />o Ensure more salaried employees receive appropriate overtime pay (Overtime Rule)
<br />Pass federal bills advancing pay equity. Congress must take action to dose the gender pay gap
<br />by passing legislation that wilt enable ail women to take home a fair paycheck.
<br />0 The Paycheck Fairness Act would protect workers by dosing loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963
<br />Q The Pay Equity for All Act would prohibit employers from asking about salary history before making a job offer
<br />The Fair Pay Act would require employers to provide equal pay for work of equal value (comparable worth)
