Instruction: Please read the case thoroughly and answer the questions provided below. Opening Case: Unequal Pay for Equal Work? Men and women with comparable credentials, comparable experience, and comparable performance ratings performing the same tasks should make comparable pay, right? But while it may seem logical, in reality, men tend to make more than women even when there are no obvious reasons for the discrepancy. Nor is this pattern new. Indeed, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 broadly outlawed discrimination on the basis of gender in any aspect of the employment relationship (which would obviously include pay) and the Equal Pay Act of 1963 specifically stipulates that organizations must pay the same wages to men and women who are doing equal work. For years experts attributed the problem to two things. First, some organizations have continued to practice outright discrimination. Some managers, for instance, either intentionally or unconsciously, may tend to reward…

Sexual Harassment You are the VP of Human Resources at a large public insurance company. Recently, one of your company’s top sales agents, Linda Brown, asked to see you privately. When she came to see you in your office, she told you that when she had first started with the company in the early 1980’s, she was one of the first female sales agents the company had hired. She was young and attractive, but she was also aggressive and ambitious. She said she dealt with a lot of harassing behavior back then from her male counterparts: comments about her appearance, offensive jokes, even rumors that she was “sleeping her way to the top.” At the time, she decided that she was just going to have to put up with it to be successful. She even participated in some of the suggestive banter and learned to hold her own among her sexist counterparts. Recently, however, Linda’s perspective had changed. Although she is in her 40’s and is married, she still deals with a lot of inappropriate…

How do I respond to this in 100 words? Mujtaba (2010; as cited in Muffler et al., 2010) states that disparate treatment involves an employer who intentionally treats applicants or employees less favorably than others based on one of the protected classes of color, race, sex, religion, or national origin. It is the core constitutional violation against which the U.S. Equal Protection Clause guards (Hellman, 2024, pg. 206). In light of disparate treatment cases, employers should be sure to document their reasoning for their employment decisions for a variety of reasons. One reason being to maintain legal compliance. There are laws in place that protect employees from employment discrimination, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and Executive Orders 11246 and 11375 (Holley et al., 2017).
