Equal Pay Case Decision Sets Equal Work Principle
A Melbourne arbitration ruling by Justices Moore and Williams with E A Chambers and J Lugh, split benches, discusses equal pay for equal work in public service. The decision rejects pure family wage retention, endorses aligning female wages with male equivalents, and argues for state and federal law coherence in applying equal pay principles across governments and instrumentalities. The hearing compared historical wage baselines and discussed impacts on female wages under various awards. The decision notes more state awards cover females than federal ones and emphasizes consistency with state acts and broader societal employment goals.
