To mandate that employers provide to employees wage information on "similarly situated employees," meaning employees who are within the same job classification or whose duties are comparable in skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions, and training. The bill is part of a package that would mandate “comparable worth” pay and create a government “commission on pay equity” to define what that is.
