INEQUITIES
Inequities exist within an organization when the salaries of employees are out of alignment. Internal inequity exists when employees in an organization with comparable qualifications, levels of responsibility, and performance within the same salary grade are not paid at comparable rates. External inequity exists when an organizations pay rates are not in line with those of the relevant market.

HOW COMPANIES VIEW EQUITY ?


The belief that failure to match other companies' salaries will lead to a decline in employee morale and productivity. The belief that below-average wages will hinder company's ability to attract good people. The opinion that management is morally obligated to pay prevailing wages, and that an inability to do so is an admission of managerial failure.
