Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a gender‑discrimination claim under the LAD alleging unequal pay for substantially equal work must be analyzed using the Equal Pay Act standards, shifting the burden to the employer, and reversed in part the Appellate Division while remanding for further proceedings; it also barred the plaintiffs' wrongful‑discharge claims because the Woolley decision is not applied retroactively.
