Missouri HB2820 prohibits employers from discriminating in compensation based on gender for equal work.

Missouri HB2820 amends labor laws to prohibit employers from discriminating in compensation based on gender for equal work. The bill defines "compensation" broadly to include base pay, bonuses, stock options, and other forms of monetary and nonmonetary compensation. Employers are allowed to pay different wages only if based on a seniority or merit system, quantity or quality of production, or bona fide regional economic differentials.
