Same job same salary?

According to our opinion employees should receive the same salary for doing the same job.

A short time ago we discovered that in 2 projects the company started to pay a lower salary the newcomers. When this was discovered during a check in the new contracts, we protested to the company. After several communications we received an answer verbally explaining us that the newcomers did not do the same job as their colleagues that has been in the project for some time. Once the newcomers got better and received training in some new products, they would receive the same salary as their “old” colleagues.

We were not fully satisfied with the explanation because the contracts do not say anything about the different products they are supporting. So we asked the company to make this transparent in the contracts. Furthermore we have asked for a written explanation.

And even though the company has told us why there is a different salary in the 2 projects, they still haven’t changed anything in the contracts, so the newcomers are, forever, being paid less than their “old” colleagues.

Are you one of the employees receiving less than your colleagues for the same job? Please let us know.
