Bill H.Res. 87, also known as the Paycheck Fairness Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to amend several existing civil rights and employment acts in order to address issues of discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, the bill seeks to amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

One of the key provisions of the bill is to clarify that a discriminatory compensation decision or practice that is unlawful under these acts occurs each time compensation is paid pursuant to the discriminatory decision or practice.

This is intended to promote pay transparency and help address the gender pay gap and other forms of wage discrimination. Overall, the bill seeks to promote fairness and equality in the workplace by addressing discriminatory compensation practices and strengthening protections for workers.
