Summary

Commission on Pay Equity - Establishes a Commission on Pay Equity which shall: (1) retain a private contractor who shall study the compensation paid to job classes in a Federal legislative branch agency in which at least 50 percent of the employees are subject to provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination in Government employment and which has the broadest range of job classification of all eligible agencies, determine whether the compensation system in that agency provides for pay equity and equal employment opportunity, and, if not, make recommendations to Congress for necessary action; and (2) based on the findings of such study, establish a comprehensive plan and make recommendations to Congress to ensure pay equity and equal employment opportunity in the legislative branch. Directs the Commission to submit to Congress appropriate interim reports and a final report within one year after its first meeting.
