Comparable Worth

The department of administration shall, in its continuous efforts to enhance the current classification plan and pay schedules, work toward the goal of establishing a standard of equal pay for comparable worth. This standard for the classification plan shall be reached by: (1) eliminating, in the classification of positions, the use of judgments and factors that contain inherent biases based on sex, as defined in 1-1-209; and (2) comparing, in the classification of positions, the factors for determining job worth across occupational groups whenever those groups are dominated by males or females.
