Judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-300/06. Ursula Voß v Land Berlin

A lower rate of remuneration for overtime than for ‘normal working hours’ can constitute discrimination based on sex. National legislation which leads part-time workers to be paid less than full-time workers for the same number of hours worked breaches the principle of equal pay where it affects a considerably higher percentage of women than men and is not objectively justified.
