Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by not treating a separate claim for performance-based pay.
Extracted holding
No. The phrase 'equal and performance-based pay' did not clearly raise two separate claims at cantonal level.
Extracted reasoning
From the wording and reasoning of the earlier filing, the alleged separate claim was not sufficiently apparent; the cantonal court could understand the request as a single equal-pay claim.
