Like work.

3.—Two persons shall be regarded as employed on like work—

(a) where both perform the same work under the same or similar conditions, or where each is in every respect interchangeable with the other in relation to the work, or

(b) where the work performed by one is of a similar nature to that performed by the other and any differences between the work performed or the conditions under which it is performed by each occur only infrequently or are of small importance in relation to the work as a whole, or

(c) where the work performed by one is equal in value to that performed by the other in terms of the demands it makes in relation to such matters as skill, physical or mental effort, responsibility and working conditions.
