open-in-new
<p>Equal pay for equal work is the concept of <a href="/facts/Labour_rights/ugSfcMDf">labour rights</a> that individuals in the same <a href="/facts/Workplace/RCIrBH8J">workplace</a> be given equal pay. It is most commonly used in the context of <a href="/facts/Sexual_discrimination/laBoxq0Q">sexual discrimination</a>, in relation to the <a href="/facts/Gender_pay_gap/f6jWvcca">gender pay gap</a>. Equal pay relates to the full range of payments and benefits, including basic pay, non-salary payments, bonuses and allowances. Some countries have moved faster than others in addressing equal pay. </p>
