On the recordApril 15, 2021

Another provision in H.R. 7 requires that, in addition to proving business necessity, an employer must prove the business necessity accounts for 100 percent of the differential in compensation at issue. This is impossible to do. How can an employer explain slight differences in compensation based on educational level, experience, or quality of work on the job? This bill is going to make it impossible for employers to pay differentially on merit for anything. It is a bad bill, and we should not be passing it. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.'' Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
