Question: Identify the issue and determine how the matter should be resolved. Proper identification of the issue, applicable rule, analysis, and conclusion for question-
Beyoncé, a nurse, was hired by New Haven Hospital at a beginning salary of $15,000 per year and was assigned to the surgical ward. A short time later, Tom Carter, also a nurse, was hired and assigned to the surgical ward to perform the same duties as Beyoncé. His salary, however, was only $12,000. When Tom discovered the difference in pay, he complained to the administrator who hired him. The administrator claimed that nursing was traditionally a job for women, and women performed better on the job; therefore, women should be paid more. What is the issue for the court and how will this dispute be resolved?
