Why job duties should line up with titles and salaries

Description

Abstract: In Jaburek v. Foxx, the Seventh Circuit considered discrimination and retaliation claims under Title VII and the Equal Pay Act. As this article relates, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employee claimed gender and national origin discrimination because she was paid less than other employees who did the same work and wasn’t promoted. Although the court found in the FAA’s favor, this article urges employers to ensure that workers’ job duties match their titles and pay grades. Jaburek v. Foxx, No. 15-2165, Jan. 13, 2016 (7th Cir.)
