Does the "Equal Work Equal Pay" legislation account for productivity differences?
What if a man and woman have the identical job title, duties, education, and tenure but she is willing to work longer hours, take less time off, and is simply more productive than him?
Will the employer be forced to pay them the same amount?
Should they be paid the same simply because the do the "exact same job" if there are big differences in productivity?
What a great way to motivate people to do just enough to not get fired since they will all get the same pay no matter how little they do. What will they think of next?
Yes, they both get the same pay if they are doing the same job. But, the woman would get promoted first for going above and beyond the minimum.
If the productivity was a huge difference, a smart employer would let the slacker go find work elsewhere.

I doubt it does.. equal work for equal pay is literally that.
If not it may be equal by definition to keep paying them the same but it isn’t equitable (fair).
You pay someone based on their productivity because that’s how its fair and everyone knows where they stand. You work hard, you get paid accordingly. Anything else is unfair and that example could even be considered communism

your missing how Equal pay works…it’s not like
every accountant at company such n such gets paid X amount and that’s it.
It takes a closer look at at the justification of the pay checks….
account a, works more has more years in…gets x more then account b.
thats ok.
account a gets x more then account b b/c they are some minority group is illegal. (Equal pay also covers race as well)
