Discuss whether the state legislature should appropriate $75,552,000 to cover the costs of pay equity adjusments? Is this an issue of Equal Pay for Equal Work or Comparable Worth? Explain.
The fundamental principle behind pay equity is that the compensation and benefit structure for females as well as minority groups must be at par with that of men. In the 21st century, companies offer no discrimination in their employees. In fact, companies try to have a diverse workforce so as to facilitate innovative and creative thinking at the company. This will be a major factor in establishing the competitive edge of the company.
When every employee does the same amount of work and shares similar responsibilities, then it is imperative that they are paid equally. Pay equity is the need of the hour and government as well as companies must try to adjust the business model to accommodate the same. It is an issue of Equal Pay for Equal Work and hence government and state legislature must appropriate funds to cover the costs of pay equity adjustments.
