                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
          CHAPTER XIV--EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
 
PART 1620_THE EQUAL PAY ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1620.22  Employment cost not a ``factor other than sex.''

    A wage differential based on claimed differences between the average 
cost of employing workers of one sex as a group and the average cost of 
employing workers of the opposite sex as a group is discriminatory and 
does not qualify as a differential based on any ``factor other than 
sex,'' and will result in a violation of the equal pay provisions, if 
the equal pay standard otherwise applies.
