Question

Carrie Southern supervises the clerical division of the public works department. The department is made up of several divisions, some that focus on management support and others that provide direct public works services such as street maintenance and repair. Southern found that she makes approximately 30 percent less than three male supervisors in the department. In examining the situation with four other female supervisors, she noticed that they are all paid 20 to 30 percent less than the male supervisors. Southern talked with her female colleagues, and they all agreed that the pay structure seemed discriminatory. They asked for a meeting with the director of public works and asked him to rectify the situation. He denied the request saying that the pay structure was within his discretion to establish and that he believed it was fair. Southern and her colleagues appealed to the next level, the assistant city manager. Normally, the assistant city manager would ask the personnel department to investigate, but the personnel director is married to the director of public works. You are called in as a consultant to investigate the situation and prepare a report and recommendations for the assistant city manager.

Answer 1

A Thumbs Up! Would be really helpful for me. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

In a request prepare report on the basis of the discrimination in payment for females, supervisors compare to male supervisor and whole work the same for both female and male. Here I make a report on discrimination that is based on gender. In the workplace, the payment for a female and male worker should be the same in the same job.

Here the facts that I need to know why the director of public makes these type of discrimination based on gender and why it was fair when Carrie southern opposes that pay structure. Here Carrie southern wants to investigate the situation from the personal director to understand why female supervisor gets 20-30% less payment to compare to a male supervisor but personal director and public work director married to each other but my recommendation that female supervisors are also capable to get the same payment as a male supervisor because they worked same for organization and worked hard for a better result but that type of discrimination is not fair.

I need particular information because inequality is not good for any organisation because it can lead to discrimination in HR policies, decision making, damages personal relations and reputation within the workplace, even lead sexual harassment, lead mental or physical problems for the female supervisor and workers. Gender discrimination makes a negative impact on the organisation and working quality that are not good for organisations reputation.

After the same answer and saying their decision fair and my recommendation for resolve that issue submit that report to the assistant city manager.
