If there is a specific job role with the same JD across multiple venues in the business, should salary be same amount regardless of gender ?

   It is illegal to pay someone doing the same job in the same location less money based on their gender.

   Someone negotiated a better salary for themselves? Not illegal.

   This is most definitely a “gender issue” . As well as following their much publicised ethos of “ u need to manage up as well as down”….. followed said ethos and transpires they are not so keen on the female who “challenges/ manages up”?‍♀️

   No not necessarily. Every person brings a unique and multifaceted offering and to a role. A job description is only the tip of the iceberg of what success in a role looks like. So it's not black and white and should not be treated as such.

   Oh …. I have beaten my male counterparts in all aspects … experience , qualifications , skill , hit all KPI’s , sales, budget etc ……. I was considered “ one of the team” until I became a part of the employee forum … appears I asked “ some difficult questions “….. hence my current predicament !

   Then why focus on salary inequity and performance?????

   This is personal. Some wants you gone. They are using salary to drive you out.

   Pay disparity is a known issue across the U.S.
   The best thing you can do for yourself is learn, read, watch videos, get mentored to learn crafty and strategic ways to negotiate your worth. It often involves doing the upfront market research for your specific profession, and backing it with sound ex to justifying why your skillset and accomplishments should motivate them to pay you what you know you are worth. Spend more time focusing inward. The gender pay disparity issue is not going to resolve itself overnight. So do your best with what you can control.....how you sell and present yourself to get what you want.

   Same in UK in many professions. Just frustrating when they publicise their “ gender pay gap “ policy …. Refuse to pay me their own set salary banding … whilst employing their “buddies” in line for like roles on £10k more than me …. Think it’s time I “sell & present “ myself to a company that actually practice what they preach - thanks

   There are salary bands for a reason. Each person will be worth a different salary depending on what they bring.

   That’s the thing …. They moved me to a different facility … that is banded at a higher bracket than the one I moved from …. So I expect that they pay me the salary that they advertise, that me predecessor was paid and what they would pay a “newbie” with no actual credibility …
