Question. 1 Is being paid a smaller salary or
wage than your male coworkers the only evidence
you can provide to sue the employer under the
Equal Pay Act?
Answer Not at all. In fact, aside from providing
evidence that your male coworkers employed in the
same position earn more than you, you can also
provide the following evidence in a gender pay
discrimination claim

• Absence of female workers in leadership positions

• Its easier for males to get a promotion / in the
  past six months, more men have been promoted than
  women

• Women in the workplace are not allowed to
  negotiate salary increases

• Learning that your male predecessor employed in
  the same position before you were earning a
  higher salary

• Male counterparts are offered more benefits than
  women.
