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

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

Teachers perform equal-value teaching under materially similar conditions. The school already separately compensates foreign-hire dislocation through housing, shipping and travel benefits. It invokes the same dislocation alone to justify an additional basic-salary gap. Which reasoning follows ISAE?
  1. The separately compensated dislocation does not justify the challenged basic-salary distinction on these facts
  2. The same factor automatically validates unlimited additional salary gaps
  3. Relocation necessarily proves superior teaching
  4. Existing housing benefits eliminate public-policy review
  5. The local teachers must first show competitors pay them less
