Key legal question
Whether the salary gap between X. and A. constituted sex discrimination under the Equality Act.
Extracted holding
The employee made discrimination plausible, and the employer did not prove that the full 50% pay gap was justified by objective factors.
Extracted reasoning
The male comparator had some objective advantages (technical knowledge and German/Swiss German), but these justified only a limited differential; the employee had higher formal education and a federal HR specialist certificate, so the disparity could not stand as established.
