If you employ people do you ever hire at just minimum wage? If you are an employee are you working at minimum wage? What do you think a decent wage is for the work you do? Are you underpaid and can you quantify by how much you are underpaid? Do you suspect that you might be overpaid? LOL. If you go to your boss and ask for a raise, do you ever back it up with clear stats on how well you perform?

This discussion came up in a meeting and I was wondering how this worked for you?


This is all somewhat meaningless; since, you haven't bothered to indicate what type of business this is. If you are paying people these wages to hand out leaflets on a street-corner; then, it is a nice wage. If however you are paying these wages to healthcare attendants, then, they are vastly underpaid (considering what they have to face each day). Several other occupations would also find your wages either excessive or deliriously low.
