## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Anti-Discrimination & Industrial Relations](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the pay records the lawyer selects, list the jobs being compared, the establishment, the rates of pay, and whether the papers describe the skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions of each job. Do not decide that the work is equal and do not write a charge. |
| What the lawyer must review | No employer having employees subject to 29 U.S.C. § 206 shall discriminate, within any establishment, on the basis of sex by paying wages at a rate less than the rate paid to employees of the opposite sex in that establishment for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions (§ 206(d)(1)). The statute excepts a seniority system, a merit system, a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production, and a differential based on any other factor other than sex. You decide whether the work is equal, whether an exception applies, and what is filed. Opinion 512 requires you to verify the comparison. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the pay records the lawyer selects, list the jobs being compared, the establishment, the rates of pay, and whether the papers describe the skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions of each job. Do not decide that the work is equal and do not write a charge.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The comparison is inside one establishment. The opened text does not state a comparable-worth test.
- The proviso about reducing a wage rate to comply was in the section and should be read before any correction is described.
