Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could review the canton’s pay-grading assessment and its handling of judicial review
Decisione estratta
The court could review only whether the cantonal court respected the federal-law limits of discretion; it could not reassess mere appropriateness.
Motivazione estratta
In equal-pay disputes, grading is reviewable only for arbitrariness, unequal treatment, or gender discrimination. The court examined whether the cantonal court confined itself to those limits.
