What would you do?
If you find out that your colleagues are earning more salary than you,you all came together for the job and started the job the same day and also negotiated the monthly wages together.
After about five months you found out from other sources that they are earning more salary than you,and didn't tell you.Even though you all have agreed to ask for salary increment after sometime.
Let me know what you would do,or what you thing you would do.
Thanks

hey there
i used to work as a headhunter and this is my penny for thought.hope it makes sense
well, you probably also have to take into account of the previous experience, qualification and seniority of this colleague. starting job at same day doesnt mean equivalence in qualification for both of you.
an employer may hire 2 staff at the same time for a similar job function or title but still there will be different strengths and value of these 2 employees that the employer will look at to justify their rewards.
plus it definately also boils down to power of negotiation skills. ;)
if i were you, i will either look for another prospect elsewhere or talk to my superior about it and let him/her know my doubts.
important thing is to keep it cool and talk this over maturely and professionally.
and dont go around bitching this to the whole office or throw negative judgement as it will tarnish your chances further
good luck and cheers!
I'd complain on yahoo answers like a little sissy
At end of the day it isnt fair for one person to get more money for doing same job and starting at same time,however i dont think you should bring it up with ya collegues but to take it to your employer,maybe you could both talk it through and maybe get you a rise of your own.good luck
where i work everybody is on different wages it is all a negotiation
First I'd go back to these "other sources" who told you about the pay differences and get mental on them. Tell them to keep confidential info like that to themselves in future. seriously, salary levels shouldn't be treated as a source for gossip
Then I'd ask to sit with my boss to discuss a pay review, and then ask any offered payrise to be backdated. And always ask for more than you expect - if you don't ask, you don't get.
I think you should go straight to your employer and ask for a raise, use a bit of negotiation skills and maybe even tell your employer that you know your collegue is earning more then you, so that he/she cannot refuse you. But definately dont go to your collegues. . . they cant get your salary higher and it will only start ill feeling. . .
GOOD LUCK
I would forget the 'poor me - I am not being treated equitably' syndrom. But I'll play along with you for a bit though.
Are you absolutely certain others doing the same work as you are getting paid 'significantly' more? To just go on someone's word is very dangerous. I say significantly because there are going to be variations in pay in a very short time after being hired into a company.
Your suspected attitude is exactly why most (if not all) companies have an policy (often unwritten) regarding compensation privacy. 'What you make is your business, and yours alone. It is not to be shared with others', is sometimes how it is stated.
Rather than worrying aboout what you are getting paid, what I would do is take a very critical look at my job performance. Then compare my performance to others. Am I doing all that I can to be as good as I can be? Is someone else performing better than I am? What can I do to rise above, do better, for myself, my employer and better than others in my group?
To go to your supervisor or Human Relations Department with a complaint will probably be disasterous for not only you, but probably for the others you are comparing yourself to. Employers don't like to see squabelling over compensation.
It is true that salaries differ in private companies for the same qualification. Responsibilities will also differ. Same recruitment and same grade but people will be assigned to different jobs one with a higher starting salary. Otherwise as you said, the project would have been completed in the area of the other person who is getting paid more? If you possess same degree of skill in the particular discipline, you can ask the management to give you an opportunity in the other area. The point you have brought in is very valid and being practiced in private companies.

All's fair in love, war and work - go out there and get your own pay rise, none of this 'all negotiate together' crap - who do you think you are, the cast of 'Friends'? :p

QUIT the job if you don't like it. Here's the primary driver for salary increases: retention. Could the other employees go out and get another job for higher pay? I'm guessing they could have, with their superior grammar skills. :)
