has gloss | eng: Shultz v. Wheaton Glass Co. was a case heard before the United States Court of Appeals in 1970, 421 F.2d 259 (3rd Cir. 1970). It is an important case in studying the impact of the Bennett Amendment on Chapter VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, helping to define the limitations of equal pay for men and women. In its rulings, the court determined that a job that is "substantially equal" in terms of what the job entails, although not necessarily in title or job description, is protected by the Equal Pay Act. An employer who hires a woman to do the same job as a man but gives the job a new title in order to offer it a lesser pay is discriminating under that act. |
