Synopsis
|
LPN's at state hospital claimed violation of 'equal pay for equal work' and other theories in that one LPN made a higher salary than they. DECISION: DENIED. 'Equal pay for equal work' does not mean that everyone performing same duties gets exact same pay, regardless of education, experience and/or other variables; rather, they should be in the same classification and paid within the confines of the appropriate pay scale. Civil Service Regs, which allow for hiring employees at higher than minimum pay under certain conditions, are valid. Noted, however, that those Regs, as related to pay, could go further to effect retention of employees.
