          CHAPTER XIV--EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
 
PART 1620_THE EQUAL PAY ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1620.19  Equality of wages--application of the principle.

    Equal wages must be paid in the same medium of exchange. In 
addition, an employer would be prohibited from paying higher hourly 
rates to all employees of one sex and then attempting to equalize the 
differential by periodically paying employees of the opposite sex a 
bonus. Comparison can be made for equal pay purposes between employees 
employed in equal jobs in the same establishment although they work in 
different departments.
