Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the employee’s pay classification in salary class 14 was discriminatory under the Gender Equality Act and had to be raised to class 15.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The higher court could not find a violation of federal law in the cantonal court’s assessment that the disputed position was undervalued on a gender-discriminatory basis; the upgrade to salary class 15 stood.
Extrahierte Begründung
The complaint largely attacked factual findings, which were binding unless manifestly incorrect. The cantonal court was entitled to find that the compared tasks differed enough in mental requirements and degree of autonomy to justify a pay difference, and that the lower valuation affected female-specific features of care work.
