Example $4$: Gwen, a bank teller, alleges that she is paid less than a male bank teller who

performs substantially equal work. The respondent alleges that the male comparator is a

participant in a management training program that is open to all bank tellers. The evidence

shows, however, that the program is not bona fide because it is not a formal one, no other

employees are identified as participants in the program, and the comparator does not

receive any formal instruction. Is this an EPA violation? Why or why not?
