Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comparable worth, also called pay equity, involves evaluating the worth of different jobs within an organization based on objective factors such as required skills, knowledge, and responsibilities, rather than traditional gender roles. This can help eliminate gender-based pay discrimination and establish fair pay levels for both male and female employees. Choices A, B, D, and E are not related to the concept of comparable worth.
