@carpe I think we agree more than disagree as to final outcome. My point was that many factors can not be quantified as such. May not have said it well enough. And I think the pay equity discussion occurs more in large corporate arenas than it does in smaller entities.

Your example makes a point. But more about employee retention than pay. An employees with a bad attitude doesnt now ed to worry about a raise. They need to be worried about another job.

And in the interest of full disclosre I have been a civil servant for almost 20 years. Basicaly if you turn the widget properly you get retained. And if one person in the job title gets a raise they all do. Merit raises for non income producing jobs that cant be quantified are really more a popularity contest with your boss as the judge.

Congrats on having your own business by the way.
