Comments on: Is the Paycheck Fairness Act fair? http://www.hrmorning.com/is-the-paycheck-fairness-act-fair/ Your daily dose of HR Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:43:13 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Janet Hill http://www.hrmorning.com/is-the-paycheck-fairness-act-fair/comment-page-1/#comment-55218 Janet Hill Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:44:17 +0000 http://www.hrmorning.com/?p=284#comment-55218 This article is inaccurate. The Paycheck Fairness Act would not allow comparisons between Los Angeles and Peoria. It would allow comparisons between employees who "work for the same employer at workplaces located in the same county or similar political subdivision of a State." Under the current Equal Pay law, employees working in one office that is down the street from another office usually cannot compare themselves to the workers down the street, since it is a different "establishment." That is not fair and this law would correct that problem. I expect more accuracy from this website. This article is inaccurate.

So what is going to happen. Employers who have employees in New York City and the rural south will have to pay them the same hourly wage. Hmmmmmm. maybe they will just lower the New York wages to those in Kentucky and everyone in New York will be living on the street... or the South may rise again (as if it hasn't already). This is one of the most ridiculous laws ever considered. And just consider the increased cost to HR departments in tracking and reporting the data. Will people finally vote the democrat majority in congress out after they drop to a 3% approval rating. The're getting close. Every person who voted to relect any of the members of the single digit approval rated congress deserves what they get. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer.

Get ready.

I don't think that anyone really thinks out there. Another stupid bill introduced by pandering politicians who have no real understanding of basic economics.
