Women's equal pay bill would "place unnecessary burdens on businesses"

[$tevie]

"States that the bona fide factor defense shall apply only if the employer demonstrates that such factor: (1) is not based upon or derived from a sex-based differential in compensation, (2) is job-related with respect to the position in question, and (3) is consistent with business necessity."

So, simple intelligence tells us that salary differences not based upon or derived from a sex-based differential in compensation, which are job-related with respect to the position in question, and are consistent with business necessity, are in fact not covered by the bill. In short, if you ain't doing anything wrong you won't get in trouble.
