Question

A hospital in a rural community is having difficulty attracting radiation therapists. The department is trying to attract young, newly trained therapists. A decision has been made to pay these newly graduated therapists at a pay rate equivalent to that of radiation therapists who have been with the hospital for up to ten years. What compensation issue is relevant to this scenario

Answer 1

Answer: Internal Equity

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hospital in the rural area pays the newly employed radiation therapist the same salary as their long serving radiation therapists, they may have a challenge in the area of internal equity, as the long serving therapists would feel they were treated unfairly.

Internal Equity is a situation where employees salaries are compared, to ascertain if each employee is treated fairly as regards the amount paid as salaries.
