On April 9, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an en banc<\/em> decision in Rizo v. Yovino<\/a><\/em>, holding that an employee\u2019s prior salary does not constitute a \u201cfactor other than sex\u201d for purposes of justifying a pay disparity under the Equal Pay Act. In that case, a school district hired a female math teacher at a stepped salary level based on what she had been making in her previous position. The teacher later learned that subsequently-hired male teachers had been assigned to higher stepped salary levels, and she filed a claim under the federal Equal Pay Act. The school district sought to dismiss the claim, arguing that assigning an employee a starting salary level based on her prior compensation was a \u201cfactor other than sex\u201d and therefore permissible under the catchall defense under the Equal Pay Act.<\/p>\n

The Court rejected the School District\u2019s argument and instead construed the \u201cfactor other than sex\u201d exception for pay differentials to require some nexus to the position in question, such as experience, educational background, ability, or prior job performance. In particular, the Court reasoned that Congress passed the Equal Pay Act to eliminate historical disparities in compensation based on sex, and therefore it would be inconsistent with the statute\u2019s underlying purpose to let an employee\u2019s compensation history justify a gender-based differential in pay in a current job. Instead, the Court decided that setting current pay based on an employee\u2019s compensation history may perpetuate past discrimination and thus is incompatible with the Equal Pay Act.<\/p>\n

Client Tip: As institutions prepare for compliance with the revamped Massachusetts Equal Pay Act\u2014which prohibits inquiries into a job candidate\u2019s past salary history\u2014this case serves as a signal that federal law may be moving closer to Massachusetts law on this topic.\u00a0 Institutions should be prepared to justify any gender-based differentials in pay with specific (and, as much as possible, objective) reasons for compensation decisions that tie directly to the job in question.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
