It is illegal for an employer to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform the same or similar work, even if the job title is different. Compensation discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, or disability is also illegal. The laws against compensation discrimination cover all forms of compensation including salary, overtime pay, bonuses, stock options, profit sharing and bonus plans, life insurance, vacation and holiday pay, cleaning or gasoline allowances, hotel accommodations, travel reimbursements, and other benefits.
