Bill Summary
An Act amending the act of December 17, 1959 (P.L.1913, No.694), known as the Equal Pay Law, further providing for definitions, for wage rates and for collection of unpaid wages.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Equal Pay Law in Pennsylvania to further define key terms such as "wages" and "comparable work," and to clarify the grounds for wage differentials between employees of different sexes. It also gives the Attorney General the authority to bring actions to collect unpaid wages on behalf of employees, and extends the statute of limitations for such actions in cases of willful violations. The bill aims to strengthen protections against gender-based pay discrimination in the state.
