Question

A restaurant chain hires two new restaurant managers. One manager is a woman, and one is a man. Both candidates are equally qualified for their positions. The restaurant chain owner wanted to save money and so he offered the job to the woman at a salary $10,000 lower than what he offered the man. This is a violation of The Equal Pay Act of 1963. Which entity, if notified, could enforce the Equal Pay Act of 1963 on behalf of these employees?a. Chamber of Commerceb. Small Business c. Administration d. Equal Employment Opportunity e. Commission

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) was signed by President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) to forbid any type of discrimination on wages based on gender. The EPA is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that is the broadest federal agency in charge of enforcing civil rights laws regarding discrimination for race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin or sexual orientation in the frame of work.
