Harry has achieved his CCS credential, but Gertrude has not. The rate of pay for Gertrude is $14.21 per hour; Harry will be making $14.71. Is the pay difference a violation of Equal PayAct of 1963? Justify your answer.
Ans.) The main objective of Equal Pay Act of 1963 is to eliminate wage disparity based on gender. Here, it is not the case of gender inequality. As it is mentioned that Harry has achieved his CCS credential, but Gertrude has not. Their salaries are based on their skill not on their gender. Hence, there is a difference in their rate of pay that is for Gertrude is $14.21 per hour and $14.71 for Harry. Thus, this pay difference is not a violation of Equal Pay Act of 1963.
