The Universal Declaration on Human Rights
recognizes the right to equal pay for equal work and
to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for the
worker and the worker's family am existence worthy
of human dignity.
Two approaches: non discrimination and equality
In the European Union Law there is a reverse
burden of proof in terms of discrimination and
equality

Equity theory
The Equity theory (Adams 1963)
Employees compare their contributions to their
outcomes
The ratio outcomes/contributions is compared to
the perceived inputs and outcomes of other
employees
Unequal balances lead people to feel
distressed: overpaid worker will feel guilty while
underpaid worker will feel angry
These unpleasant emotions leads to effort to
restore equity
