Question

A restaurant chain hires two new restaurant managers. One manager is a woman, and one is a man. Both candidates are equally qualified for their positions. The restaurant chain owner wanted to save money and so he offered the job to the woman at a salary $10,000 lower than what he offered the man. This is a violation of The Equal Pay Act of 1963. Which entity, if notified, could enforce the Equal Pay Act of 1963 on behalf of these employees?a. Chamber of Commerce b. Small Business c. Administration d. Equal Employment Opportunity e. Commission

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is letter A. Chamber of Commerce

Explanation:

Because the chamber of commerce opposes pay discrimination and supports equal employment opportunity and strong enforcement of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Explanation:

President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) to ban any type of discrimination on gender-based salaries. The U.S. enforces the EPA through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is the largest federal agency responsible for enforcing civil rights laws in the workplace regarding discrimination on grounds of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin or sexual orientation.
