Within the NASW Code of Ethics, pay discrimination is not tolerated. The Equal Pay Act states that men and women in the same workplace must be given equal pay for equal work. This includes bonuses, overtime pay, salary, stock options, vacation pay, and reimbursement for travel. Howdoes NASW define equality in this context?
  1. Men and women should be paid according to their job title
  2. Job content, not job title determines equality
  3. Men and women in different workplaces should be given equal pay
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - The Equal Pay Act states that job content, not job title, determines whether individuals are considered equal. Professionals need to be aware of the consequences if they alter from this definition. It is against the law for men and women to have an inequality in pay based on their gender. An individual alleging a violation of this act may go directly to court without first contacting a supervisor.
