Practice question: Equal Pay for Equal Work; Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A school answers a same-work pay challenge only by proving local staff earn more than competitors’ staff. Is that response alone sufficient under ISAE?
  1. No; it does not resolve the unjustified internal work-value differential
  2. Yes; any favorable outside comparison ends the inquiry
  3. Yes; employees may not compare their own employer’s rates
  4. Yes; outside pay proves superior foreign-hire work
  5. Yes; market ranking establishes different duties
