A city has its pay structure established by classes of employees. For example, there are administrative staff and maintenance staff. The administrative staff's pay rate is higher and employees in those jobs are nearly all white male. The maintenance
staff's rates are lower and the employees there are nearly all female. Several female employees have brought suit challenging the pay structure as violative of Title VII. Is there a problem?
No, jobs may pay less but functions are less. Fact that males and females group up that way was not the intent of the statute. EEOC decision #85-8, 6/17/85.
