Dik v College Van Burgemeester En Wethouders: ECJ 8 Mar 1988

ECJ Directive 79/7 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security must be interpreted as meaning that it does not confer on the member states a discretion to include in national implementing measures a transitional provision which, in specifying the consequences of the repeal of a rule that discriminates against women in regard to the grant of a benefit, does so in such a way that the effects of that rule continue after the date of expiry of the period prescribed by the directive for compliance therewith by the member states.

Gisela Rummler v Dato-Druck: ECJ 1 Jul 1986

In general Directive 75/117 on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women does not prohibit the use, in a job classification system as referred to in the second paragraph of article 1, for the purpose of determining rates of pay, of the criterion of muscular demand or muscular effort or that of the heaviness of the work if, in view of the nature of the tasks involved, the work to be performed does require the use of a certain degree of physical strength, so long as the system as a whole, by taking into account other criteria, precludes any discrimination on grounds of sex. In particular, it follows from the directive that: (a) the criteria governing pay-rate classification must ensure that work which is objectively the same attracts the same rate of pay whether it is performed by a man or a woman; (b) the use of values reflecting the average performance of workers of one sex as a basis for determining the extent to which work makes demands or requires effort or whether it is heavy constitutes a form of discrimination on grounds of sex, contrary to the directive; (c) in order for a job classification system not to be discriminatory as a whole, it must, in so far as the nature of the tasks carried out in the undertaking permits, take into account criteria for which workers of each sex may show particular aptitude.
