Salary inequities at Acme Manufacturing

Answer 1. According to me I would choose option 2. The company is violating theequal pay act,
1963 ± where in there is sex discrimination made by giving less salaryto the female employees.
Hence, Mr Black should gradually increase the salary of thefemale supervisors as this will solve
his issue of the female employees reporting to theEEOC for sex discrimination. Secondly, it
would not upset the male employees for giving much importance to females in the company.
Such a decision will not hamper the growth and working of the company.Answer 2. The
company has got into this situation due to the following probablereasons:
y

The major reason is not following the equal pay act, 1963. Hencediscrimination made between
male and female employees for the same work.
y

P
ayment of salary was not made in accordance to their competencies. The skillof personnel was
not given importance in the company.
y

Current laws are not strong enough. The Equal

P
ay Act and Title VII of theCivil Rights Act are important laws, but they are hard to enforce, and
legalcases are extremely difficult to prove and win.
y

Enforcement of the laws is complaint driven and most of the informationneeded to prove a
complaint is held by employers, these laws lack the ability tocompletely rid discriminatory pay
practices. The Equal
P
ay Act does not allowwomen to file class-action lawsuits, and it provides very insubstantial
damages.

Answer 3. Mr. Black should pursue the suggestion to gradually hike the salary of female
employees as it will mainly decelerate the action of female employees to file asuit against the
company for sex discrimination and violating the equal pay act,emphasize value and personal
service rather than discrimination, lessen the femalelabour turnover, and lastly, it will Steer
employees to the work to the maximumcapability and increase the profits of the company.
