Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” includes any person acting, directly or indirectly, in the interest of any employer in relation to an employee.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices regarding wage discrimination are substantially similar to those under the federal Equal Pay Act. For example, the state law provides exemptions for wage differentials based on a seniority system or a merit system, as long as the differential is not based on sex.
Recordkeeping
Employers must keep records of the name and address of each employee and the rate of wage paid each employee. The records must be kept for one year unless an action is pending in which the records are relevant.
Posting
Employers subject to the provisions of the state Equal Pay Law must keep an abstract posted in a conspicuous place.
