Hi, she's on the money. Love love, love your work. I have a question here and would really like your advice. Our company hire a temporary support staff from our head office from Europe. After a few months, she decided want to stay in Australia, so the company sponsor her for our work visa to work in Australia. So she works in a very similar role as what I do, like a project coordinator, project administrators sort of role, do not really need special skills at all. Lately, I find out that she's actually getting pay more than double of what I'm getting paid at the moment, and her work low is probably only sixty percent of what I'm doing. I feel really frustrated about this. I want to know, is this even lego in so many different level Should I confront my boss about the big pay gap difference or should I be looking for another job? Thank you? In that month?

Oh my god. When she said, oh, she's.

Oh my god. When she said, oh, she's.

Being paid more, I was like, oh, I don't know. Yeah, we've all been there, but also like I don't know the context, like, you know, has she come from overseas with a lot more experience? Like yeah, And I'm not trying to justify it because that sucks, but I'm assuming life. Like then she gave us the context and I was like, sorry, girl, what double?

And she's doing less work?

And she's doing less work?

That is so criminal? I think it is criminal.

That is so criminal? I think it is criminal.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Yeah, it is, but it isn't like it depends on like their award rates. It depends on like the legalities of the industry. Is it acceptable?

Yeah, it is, but it isn't like it depends on like their award rates. It depends on like the legalities of the industry. Is it acceptable?

No? And that's what we're going to.

No? And that's what we're going to.

Talk about, right, Yes, So I want to know what would you guys do Beck if you came to work and found out new person at work was being paid double what you're doing less work?

Okay, what would you do? This actually happened recently, but not with me, with someone someone then you name them Sharon, named them Sharon, yep, and then the other person was named Kim for example.

First of all, I just want to say I'm so glad that pacey gritsy is no longer a thing anyway.

But to also just caveat that, you need to be really careful because while it was abolished if it is still in your employment contract. While not legal, your workplace might have some type of ramifications for talking about it. If you signed a contract that has that in it, it would be yeah, that pre dates when pace Chrissy was not allowed to be included in your contracts. So now I want to talk about pay, and I really want to be completely transparent about it, like you guys know me well enough by now, but I also don't want you to get any trouble.

Yeah, so I want to make sure that you're protected, so know that. But also maybe.

Next you know, salary review or like job reviewed, be like you need to remove that.

Next you know, salary review or like job reviewed, be like you need to remove that.

Yeah, anyway, sorry back to you.

Yeah, anyway, sorry back to you.

Bet, because I didn't want anyone to be like, oh, yeah, we can just talk about it.

Bet, because I didn't want anyone to be like, oh, yeah, we can just talk about it.

Sure, that's great. Sorry great, No, no, no, no, But basically sh Sharon, Sharon told Kim that Kim, well, actually, Kim asked Sharon how much everyone was getting paid because they're doing all the exactly literally exact same role. Yeah, it's the exactly role, the exact same title. And Sharon told Kim this, how much we get paid? Kim realized she's getting paid twelve k less wow for no absolutely no reason. Anyway, when the boss has found out that Kim knew blah blah blah, they went to Sharon. They were like, you shouldn't be they're trying to intimidate share, trying to intimidate that disgusting, despicable. I hate it.

In if yeh y yes about it, I'll give you a boss a call and be like, hey, so beg.

I just was wondering, were you doing this or now?

I just was wondering, were you doing this or now?

Yeah, And luckily Sharon stuck up for herself and she was like, basically, I just think that if you don't have in your contract you are allowed to be talking about it, then you can shout it from the rooftops. Because there are people out there who have maybe been loyal to a company for so long absolutely not in so many different situations and things like that, and they're getting paid less than everyone else. They don't know about it. Everyone needs no pay secrecy.

I don't like it, but hate secrecy only benefits the employer exactly, it doesn't benefit anybody.

I don't like it, but hate secrecy only benefits the employer exactly, it doesn't benefit anybody.

I completely agree. But to answer our listener's question, should you confront or look for your job? I say both. You should definitely, you should definitely be confronting and definitely bex.

Start a riot angry we're not having it. How would you go about that?

Though, I'll be like, well, actually maybe you would find a job vers a secure job. And then when they're like, hey, oh you're leaving, why you're leaving? Like, because you guys are so sneaky, everyone knows.

Though, I'll be like, well, actually maybe you would find a job vers a secure job. And then when they're like, hey, oh you're leaving, why you're leaving? Like, because you guys are so sneaky, everyone knows.

And I'm going to put this on glass door. I was going to say, I just gonna say, put it on glass door, put it somewhere like, jess, what would you do? The one thing I will say is that with the workload thing, I think sometimes you can look at a coworker and it's easier, Oh, they seem like they do nothing. But unless you're.

And I'm going to put this on glass door. I was going to say, I just gonna say, put it on glass door, put it somewhere like, jess, what would you do? The one thing I will say is that with the workload thing, I think sometimes you can look at a coworker and it's easier, Oh, they seem like they do nothing. But unless you're.

Everyone looks at me that way, they're not wrong. But everybody does look at me that way, yes, but unless you're like sitting like cyber do you know what I mean? Like, I think that it's easy to go, oh, it seems like they're doing half my workload, but you don't necessarily know, so I don't know that I hard to quantify completely, So I don't know that I would build that into my argument because I think that sometimes jobs that seem like they're not taxing actually have like an overwhlming amount of just like tedious things or whatever that you might not know that they're dealing with. So I wouldn't build that into your argument just because it might be easy for them to refute that and say, oh, actually they're doing X Y L and you go, oh crap, Like now I don't stand on completely, but if you're doing similar roles, the pay should absolutely be similar. There's really no good reason, as you said, outside of maybe historical experience or seniority. But even then you kind of go, if we're doing the same thing, like, how much does that really factor in? I think that I would it depends how much you like your job. Really like, if you like your job, if you like what you're doing, you like your colleagues, then it is worth I think having the conversation before looking elsewhere and saying, hey, like, I've been made aware of this disparity, can you please do it to me why that exists? I think giving them an opportunity to say, you know, this person maybe is managing some of the team back in Europe remotely, or this person has ten years more experience than you, or whatever the case may be. And if there's nothing, if there's no good reason, which it feels like maybe there's a good chance that's the case. You're going to catch them out and they're going to be like, ah, they are, and you're gonna be like, gotcha, and then you can kind of, I think, launch into the negotiation and be like, this is really unreasonable if you can't give me a reason as to why you're being paid more, I don't see any reason that you should not be matching ching salary to this.

See what they say, hopefully, Oh, we're so sorry. You're totally right, we'll sort that out. If they don't, that's when I would personally start looking front the job, especially if it's like for like like I get so frustrated.

I also feel like I don't like being super confrontational in these situations because it doesn't help you. Like marching into your boss's office and being like, what are you doing? Is not a great idea. I would actually step back for a hot second, and I'd be like, Okay, how long have I been with this organization? Let's go back to basics. Let's look at my employment contract. Am I fulfilling everything in that contract? Fantastic? What am I doing above and beyond that? Because we all know if we've been with a company for a couple of years, we might be adding a few things here and there, or like we might have lost a few responsibilities and had them replaced with something else. We want to understand whether the job title you have today is still reflective of the role that you perform, because it is a lot more persuasive to have an argument that's not only should I get paid more, but also I have been thinking I need a role title upgrade and a salary upgrade. What are we talking about? I would, then, from my perspective, schedule a meeting with your manager and say, hey, I'd really like to schedule a meeting to discuss my salary. Give them enough notice and say I would love to sit down with you at lunchtime on Friday, or a two pm on Friday. Actually definitely a two pm on Friday, because we don't need to do salary negotiations in our lunch break. That is a work conversation. So we're going to have our Friday conversation, and then the day before or the morning of, you're going to send a really nice email to your manager, and that email is going to outline everything that you want to talk to them about in a really clear, concise way, and you're going to deliver it in the nicest possible way, So you're going to say, Hi, Beck, I just wanted to send you an email ahead of our meeting because, as you know, I would like to discuss my pay, but I want to make sure before this meeting to make sure it's.

We're on the same page. I would like to let you know that I have done some research, so we're going to do external research as well. I've looked at the Hayes Salary Guide, I've looked at Glassdoor, I've looked at what seeks remuneration for similar roles are and the role that I'm currently doing it sits at X. Obviously, don't use that statistic if it's not going to work for you. But like I've done some reviews and in a perfect world, that review will say that you're being underpaid. So you put that on the table and say so, I would really like to discuss my salary in light of this. I also would like to discuss the discrepancy between my role and another impartployee's role, and I want to have a discussion around pay parity in the organization. What does that look like? How can that be remediated? Because right now I don't feel very engaged. I don't feel like I'm being valued, and obviously we all want a really nice outcome. Look forward to the conversation because that gets all your information out before having to go and like we're just girls at the end of the day, like sitting down and being like, I need to advocate for myself. Like, don't get me wrong. If you can do that, that is absolutely fantastic. But you're also giving your boss some time because often in these situations where there's levels of management, it's not your manager who makes that decision. So like in my organization, great Jess might come to me about salary. I do call the shots. That's the right decision, But like Jess sending an email because you know Beck might be her manager, because Beck then has to go to Meat to advocate for that. I'm giving you all of the tools and resources you need to advocate for me on my behalf.

Does that make sense?

Does that make sense?

So like if your manager maybe goes, oh yeah, I just wants to pay increase, what are we going to do? Like, at least I have put all of the information on a page and Beck could forward that to my manager and be like, she's got a really good point, like this isn't actually acceptable and outlining all of that, and at the same time I would be looking for another role. I think these conversations are really constructive and help us grow, but I also think that it sounds like they don't value you in the way that you deserve to be valued. And just because you've quote uncovered this and it might be remediated, doesn't mean that they are going to continue to value you. I would find an organization that backs the hell out of you, yes, but have this conversation make them pay you more and than the week after they've done that, leave.
