EEOC According to Henderson (2006) Sex Discrimination,

EEOC

According to Henderson (2006) sex discrimination, other blatant bigotry is a risky proposition for an organizational strategy. He wrote " of all the different kinds of legislation enacted in the past 70 years, laws barring discrimination in employment practices have placed the most pressure on human resources." In the case of Patricia Cosby, a35-year-old woman who has been repeatedly discriminated against throughout her 7 years at her company, this type of unfair treatment is best demonstrated to show how she can help defend herself. The purpose of this essay is to explain the legal protection that is entitled to Patricia and achieve justice from her unfair Employer.

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) The Equal Pay Act is Patricia's best source of legal defense. In this federal law it states that "No employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions, except where such payment is made pursuant to (i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex."

It is up to Patricia therefore to prove that she has been discriminated against by her employer. She must prove that she has done equal work to her male counterparts while brandishing the same amount of skill and effort. This case may be difficult because the burden of proof rests with Patricia and she will need a well documented case that has substantial proof that prejudice was not a factor in her low pay.
