Same job role. Same qualifications. Same workload. Different Pay. What causes that?

[Kross]

There are situations within an organization that there is difference between the renumeration of staff. There could be a situation of two people having same job role with the same workload. And they are equally qualified.

But they get different Pay level. What could be the cause of that?

 

[King Belieal]

It is all about the ability to negotiate. The staff that gets the higher pay has a better negotiation ability obviously.

 

[Augusta]

Yes, it might just be about the negotiations abilities. Again,the company might see the abilities of the other person than the other that is being paid lower

 

[eLdavis]

There might be different factors to this, it could be due to the number of years, a person who has been working for a longer period of time would definitely be paid more. Then again they could have same qualifications but what they bring to the table is different.

 

[Springtime]

One of the reasons may be the seniority of the employee. If that employee has worked for the company for a longer period, his/her salary may be higher due to salary increments over the years. Another reason may be gender inequality within the company.

 

[King Belieal]

It can also be based on the person that recommended the one that is being paid higher. Connection can affect pay.

 

[Augusta]

Sure, connection can actually affect pay. Some people would pay it you are in close circles of theirs.This is to help you out financially

 

[Trush Jodie]

Maybe, the other person that is being paid higher has a bigger personality than the person that is being paid lower.

 

[Min George]

There is something extra that the other person certainly carries. It could be better aura or presentation.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah even with the same job title, there might be subtle variations in workload or responsibilities of the other person
