If there was no Fair Pay Act, then there would be a lot of discrimination prevalent among the employers and some people may get lower pays because they are being discriminated for their age, race, sex, age and nationality or religion. However, because of the act the employer knows that there could be serious repercussions on practicing discrimination while giving pays. Also, the Fair Pay Act ensures that women get paid equally as men when they are putting in the same number of hours as men into the job.
However, some of the cons are that employees may take undue advantage of the act. One is some jobs require different levels of physical strength and also it creates disparities at the level of pay. Experience can get ignored due to this act vas it is purely based on the amount of work you do and not the amount of knowledge you carry. Some people with more experience would be getting paid at the same level as fresher if there is an equal pay system.
