The complainant alleges that she is entitled to equal pay in terms of Section 19 of the Employment Equality Act, 1998 with the named male comparator on the basis that she performs 'like work' with the named male comparator in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(1) of the Employment Equality Act, 1998.
