first workers' compensation law in the united states
Workers' compensation The first statewide workers' compensation law was passed in Maryland in 1902, and the first law covering federal employees was passed in 1906.[32] (See: FELA, 1908; FECA, 1916; Kern, 1918.) By 1949, every state had enacted a workers' compensation program.[33]
Equal Pay Act of 1963 The EPA provides that the employer may not pay lower wages to employees of one gender than it pays to employees of the other gender, employees within the same establishment for equal work at jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions.
