Eric and Jessica are hired as coaches at Herbert Hoover High School in the same year. Harry coaches boys' tennis and Jessica coaches girls' tennis. The jobs also require them to each teach physical education classes approximately 50% of the time. Both have a bachelor's degree in education and neither had prior teaching experience. Eric hosts a weekly radio show on current events at Hoover. Eric's salary as coach is higher than Jessica's salary as coach. Jessica complains that her pay is discriminatory.
a. Jessica can prevail under the Equal Pay Act or Title VII because Eric is not required to use his radio announcer's skills to perform as a tennis coach.
b. Jessica cannot prevail under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because her job does not require equal skill, effort, and responsibility as Eric's job because she does not also host a radio show for the school.
c. Jessica can prevail under the Equal Pay Act or Title VII because she used to be a radio announcer before she became a teacher.
d. Jessica cannot prevail under the Equal Pay Act because her job does not require equal skill, effort, and responsibility as Eric's job because she does not also host a radio show for the school.
