HB770 requires that no employer shall pay an employee a wage at a rate less than the rate of an employee of the opposite sex.
The Mississippi State House of Representatives passed HB770 on January 20, 2022 by a vote of 114 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because equal pay for equal work is a liberal talking point and businesses should be paying their employees based on experience and performance or however they see fit. The government should not be telling businesses how they should be compensating their employees. That is done naturally by the free market.
