Explain the coverage of the Equal Pay Act
The Equal Pay Act's coverage is similar to that of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The act applies to all employers "engaged in commerce (interstate commerce)," and it applies to all employees of an "enterprise engaged in commerce." Virtually all substantial business operations are covered. The act also covers state and local government employees. The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 extended the coverage of Fair Labor Standards Act, including the Equal Pay Act, to federal employees of the following offices:
• House of Representatives
• Senate
• Capitol Guide Service
• Capitol Police
• Congressional Budget Office
• Office of the Architect of the Capitol
• Office of the Attending Physician
• Office of Technology Assessment
