Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Mark meets higher productivity targets than Chloe, the organization's decision to pay him more than Chloe is justified. The laws governing equal employment opportunity do not guarantee equal pay for men and women, whites and minorities, or any other groups, because so many legitimate factors, from education to choice of occupation, affect a person's earnings. Any differences in pay must instead be tied to such business-related considerations as job responsibilities or performance.
