The Equal Pay for Equal Work Act establishes the National Equal Pay Enforcement Task Force , an interagency body designed to strengthen the enforcement of equal pay laws. This task force will consist of representatives from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, and the Office of Personnel Management. Its primary mission is to enhance compliance and public education regarding equal pay by ensuring better coordination among these federal agencies. The task force aims to identify and limit potential gaps in enforcement efforts across the government. Additionally, it is mandated to investigate specific challenges related to pay inequity, develop actionable recommendations to address these issues, and formulate concrete plans for their implementation.
