In addition to providing your state name, please tell us what your concern has to do with workplace injuries/workers compensation.Im not trying to scrape my company for cash. I love my job. I just want to be equally paid, and make sure I cover all my bases
However, if you are not in a union and do not have a contract you should be grateful that you are getting the raise, and do not make any more stink about it unless you want to lose your job.There is no law that says a supervisor must make more than a subordinate. I would point you towards just about any pro sports team for examples where they don't. Many players make far more than the coaches and general managers.
There is also no law that two people with equal qualifications must make the same amount. Nor is there a law that says a person with fewer qualifications can't make more.
If there is some union contract at your workplace you will need to talk to a union rep about it.
I'm afraid "someone" is very, very wrong. The quickest route to discontent is to compare yourself to someone else. If you were content with your pay (or at least as content as anyone is with their pay) BEFORE you found out how much your coworker makes, then do yourself a favor and concentrate on that.I apologize. Im new to this site, and I seem to have typed my question in a different place. Anywho,
I just recently found out that my co-worker makes more money than I do. Im technically his lead. And after chit-chatting with him, turns out we have the same amount of experience. And the same qualifications, except I have a year more of General Manager experience. I asked my boss for a raise, and in a week, Ill be making the same amount as that co-worker. But Im still his higher up. Someone told me "your on a higher paygrade than he is because your his lead. On the chart, your above him. They owe you backpay for all the time he has been making more money" Is there any truth to this? I dont want to be rude, I just want fair. And things at my job have been very unsettling latley. I would love some advice. Please and thank you.
