Salima became a Certified Public Accountant in 2002. After working as a staff auditor and accountant for other companies, she was hired as an auditor by Moore Corp. in 2003. When she was hired, there were four male auditors in her area who had been with the company for several years and were classified as senior auditors. In 2004, Salima complained that she was receiving the same salary as a new male senior auditor, Rashid, even though she was doing the same work. When Rashid was brought in, Moore Corp. was in the process of divestiture and its policy was to fill positions with lateral transfers from other areas because of a promotion and hiring freeze. In 2005, Salima filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claiming that she was not being paid equally

for equal work. Did Moore Corp. violate the Equal Pay Act by paying Salima less than the male accountants? What will be an ideal response?
