Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” includes any person acting in the interest of an employer directly or indirectly.
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.
