There is no law requiring coworkers to be treated or paid the same, except as indicated below. As a general matter, since employment in this nation is "employment at will," an employer is free to determine the terms, conditions, duties, and compensation for *each* job and could treat any employee--or every employee--differently if the employer chose.
The exception is that certain types of discrimination--principally on the basis of race, national origin, age 40 or over, sex, disability, or religion--is illegal. An employer cannot treat an employee differently for one of those reasons. If they are, the employee may have an employment discrimination claim and may wish to contact the federal EEOC or state equal/civil rights agency.
