Case of Riser v. QEP Energy Panesia Kitchen Columbia Southern University
Case of Riser v. QEP Energy
The legal issues in this case are first discrimination of the plaintiff, Kathy Risper by the defendant QEP Energy Company on the basis of gender and age which is
in violation of the Equal Pay Act (EPA) and the also the age discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EPA normally prohibits wage discrimination between
employees on the basis of sex, for equal work on jobs, the performance requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility which are performed under similar working
conditions (Tufarolo, 2016). The plaintiff established a valid prima facie, she was able to demonstrate the ability to perform work which was substantially equal to
that of the male employees considering the skills, duties, supervision, effort and responsibilities of the jobs. She was involved in managing a fleet of over two hundred
vehicles, facility management and managing construction projects. According to Tufarolo, (2016) the defendant dint have any complaint on the execution of duties by
the plaintiff. Furthermore, on the evaluations done on Ms Risper for the year 2010, by Mr Bench, she had exceeded her expectations. While working at QEP, the
plaintiff also never received any disciplinary issues nor warnings, suspensions or probation. It is also viewed that the conditions where the work was performed were
basically the same since Ms Risper’s job description was used to come up with Mathew Chinn’s job description (Yusko et al., 2017). The basis of equal work is based on
Mr Chinn's fleet administration duties. Tufarolo, (2016) suggests that Mr Chinn’s duties were a replica of Ms Riser's duties. Ms Riser performed all of the fleet
administration duties after Mr Chinn was hired and took on the responsibi ...

Case of Riser v. QEP Energy Panesia Kitchen Columbia
Southern University
Case of Riser v. QEP Energy
The legal issues in this case are first discrimination of the
4. plaintiff, Kathy Risper by the defendant QEP Energy Company
on the basis of gender and age which is
in violation of the Equal Pay Act (EPA) and the also the age
discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EPA normally
prohibits wage discrimination between
employees on the basis of sex, for equal work on jobs, the
performance requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility
which are performed under similar working
conditions (Tufarolo, 2016). The plaintiff established a valid
prima facie, she was able to demonstrate the ability to perform
work which was substantially equal to
that of the male employees considering the skills, duties,
supervision, effort and responsibilities of the jobs. She was
involved in managing a fleet of over two hundred
vehicles, facility management and managing construction
projects. According to Tufarolo, (2016) the defendant dint have
any complaint on the execution of duties by
the plaintiff. Furthermore, on the evaluations done on Ms Risper
for the year 2010, by Mr Bench, she had exceeded her
expectations. While working at QEP, the
plaintiff also never received any disciplinary issues nor
warnings, suspensions or probation. It is also viewed that the
conditions where the work was performed were
basically the same since Ms Risper’s job description was used
to come up with Mathew Chinn’s job description (Yusko et al.,
2017). The basis of equal work is based on
Mr Chinn's fleet administration duties. Tufarolo, (2016)
suggests that Mr Chinn’s duties were a replica of Ms Riser's
duties. Ms Riser performed all of the fleet
administration duties after Mr Chinn was hired and took on the
responsibilities. Ms Riser also discussed the duties with Mr
Bench to prepare Mr Chinn's job
5. description and trained him to perform the same duties then
finally she was termination. As Mr Bench explained, there were
no tasks on Mr Chinn's job
description that Ms Riser was not previously responsible for
performing. The appeal court dismissed Ms Riser's
discriminatory discharge based on the grounds that
she had not established a prima facie case, and that even if she
had, QEP had supplied a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason
for the discharge that Mr Riser did not
show to be pretextual (Tufarolo, 2016). Other-than-sex Factor
Insufficient to Avoid a Trial
Ms Riser was unable to show that she occupies a job similar to
that of higher paid male. It was also considered that an
individual's former salary can be
considered in determining whether pay disparity is based on a
factor other than sex. QEP had articulated a legitimate, non-
discriminatory reason for the pay disparity
between Ms Riser and Mr Chinn and Mr Bryanta and its pay
classification system. Due to this the burden of production
shifted to Ms Riser to show that company
compensation or that gender or age was a determining factor in
QEP's decision to pay her less money. This can be reflected by
such weaknesses, inconsistencies,
incoherencies, or contradictions in the employer's proffered
legitimate reasons for its action that a reasonable factfinder
could rationally find them unworthy of
credence and hence suggest that the employer did not act for the
asserted non-discriminatory reasons (Tufarolo, 2016). What The
Employer Needed to Do Differently
The employer would have given Ms Riser a well elaborated job
description and ensure fairness at work. This would have
6. included getting her views on the job and
salary. According to Malhotra et al, (2018) everyone should be
treated fairly at work and work-related decisions. The employee
should make sure that their company’s
policies don't inadvertently put certain groups at a
disadvantage. They also should actively promote equality and
inclusion, ensuring people are free to focus on what
matters most to the company. Diversity and equal treatment in
the workplace are vital to a healthy, growing company and even
generating its profits. Employing
people of all genders and races can make an organization
stronger. It's was also important for them to remember they
would have been held accountable for
perpetrating discriminatory and this will affect their reputation
and thus take corrective measures (Yusko et al., 2017).

Original source
Pretext may be established directly by
showing that the employer “was more
likely than not motivated by a
discriminatory reason,” or indirectly by
presenting evidence that the “employer’s
explanation is not credible.” A plaintiff
demonstrates pretext by producing
evidence of such weaknesses,
implausibilities, inconsistencies,
incoherencies, or contradictions in the
employer’s proffered legitimate reasons
for its action that a reasonable factfinder
could rationally find them unworthy of
credence and hence infer that the
employer did not act for the asserted
non-discriminatory reasons
