The Equal Pay Act was intended to prohibit pay discrimination based on sex by mandating equal pay for equal work performed by employees, regardless of gender.
In the United States, legislation pushing for the Equal Pay Act was first introduced as early as 1945 in acknowledgment of women's war work. Under the leadership of Esther Peterson, director of the Women's Bureau and an assistant secretary of labor in the administration of President John F. Kennedy, Congress in 1963 passed the Equal Pay Act as an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require employers to pay equal wages to men and women doing "equal work on jobs …which[require] equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and are performed under similar working conditions."
