So, if it's, say, heavy lifting and it takes 4 women to do the same job as it did 2 men, the employer will have to pay twice as much. Many employers won't simply employ women ( or men if a job is more suitable for women ).

Honestly asking, are there jobs like that? I would assume they just have to ask the ‘can you lift 50+ lbs’ and they just wouldn’t hire the man or woman if they couldn’t?

It's just an example. In reality employers want to pay for the quality of work and gender doesn't matter as much as skills do. Equal pay is just forcing them to pay the same wages regardless of the quality of work.

Gender equity must be ensured
-
At what cost? It would be nice to have lots of things ensured. Do we really trust our governments to make these complex determinations? The loss of productivity with those new regulations will be felt in the economy. A law against discrimination should be enough.
-
Why would the productivity be less?
-
Just because it costs time/money to comply. If we just enforce the laws on the books, we don't need any new rules. You can't discriminate based on sex or race. If you do, you can be sued.
-
Well if they are already paid the same it wouldn't cost neither money nor time for the company. So basicly you're saying that they actually need this law. Thank you for confirming.
-
You are suggesting that "being compliant" has zero cost. Incorrect sir.

lol... it amazes me how many people on twitter are absolutely clueless to how businesses work and the bog burecratic nonsense like this does to them
-
Now there will be some paper pushing burecatic govt worker who will barge into companies and demand they show paperwork proving all this... as the chinese continue to blast past us in productivity.... idiots

Thank you Iceland! May all the trees you replanted be symbolic of standards u raise! May there roots be a deep maze. Seeds blow, triple ideas & seeds u sow. Germinate and grow till they graze clouds of snow!
