Abstract

This Note examines the reasoning behind the several circuit courts' (Tenth, Ninth, Eighth, and Sixth) differing answers to the question of whether a violation of the Equal Pay Act will automatically lead to Title VII liability and the effect the different answers have on the allocation of the burden of proof under a Title VII claim. Finally, a critical analysis is done to determine which rule—the "equivalence" or "no equivalence"—is based upon better reasoning.
