Help, I’ve discovered that a new employee is making more than I am GlobeBusiness
JohnnyGreig/iStockPhoto / Getty ImagesI have been at my company for 12 years and an account manager for the past seven. The owner hired his friend in the same role. Same job, same tasks. Today I discovered they are paying him substantially more than me, despite the fact that I have amassed more clients and bring in more revenue. What can I do?Story continues below advertisement
Under the Ontario Employment Standards Act, an employer cannot pay one employee less than another employee based on their sex when they perform substantially the same kind of work in the same establishment. However, employees of different sexes who are performing equal work may be paid different rates if the difference is due to a seniority system, a merit-based system or a system that measures earnings by production quantity or quality.
I am curious how you discovered that the other staff member is making more than you are. Often companies are sensitive about and do not share with employees what other staff members are earning. If this is the case in your company, then you will have to be mindful about how you present and use this information.
