Which scenario is illegal under the Equal Pay Act of 1963?

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 requires employers to pay men and women equally for equal work in the same workplace, unless a lawful factor such as seniority or merit explains the difference. Paying a woman less than a man for the same job violates that requirement. The other scenarios may raise separate workplace or discrimination issues, but they are not specifically violations of the Equal Pay Act.
