I'd prefer to keep this out of PARF because I do not consider it political. I just have an honest question for anyone who might know about U.S. employment law. Is it illegal to not offer equal pay for equal work, as long as it's not based on ethnicity or gender?
And I'm sorry if it's a really dumb question but I don't know the answer. IOW, can an employer pay different people different amounts who do essentially the same job based on subjective criteria? Such as the employer thinks that one person represents his company better than another person, (employee)? Can they do this secretly, i.e. w/o the lesser paid employee finding out?
TIA.
