Question

Brandon is an office manager with a college degree, five years of experience, and a track record of being rated excellent at his work. He supervises seven staff members, and his employer, PRF Inc., pays him $40,000 a year. Which comparison would most likely lead Brandon to conclude that his rate of pay is unfair?

Answer 1

Brandon needs to compare his salary to other employees of the company, he needs to pay special attention if:

1. If the supervisors from other departments or units of the same company earn more than Brandon.
2. If his own staff members earn a salary that is very similar to Brandon's.
3. If his immediate superior earns a salary that is disproportionately higher than Brandon's.
