Myriad factors go into determining an employee’s salary. Job skills, overall abilities, motivation to accomplish tasks, innovative ideas, ability to foster productive working relationships, communications skills, managerial skill set, dependability, ability to learn and apply new concepts, value to the organization, and respect of customers just to name a few.
In some cases, losing a vital employee or team member can really hurt an organization. They are worth a lot because they are an important cog in the machine.
There is NO LAW that can ever define what an employee is really worth to a particular organization. Only liberals would ever think of something so absurd.
I’ve seen the employee evaluations where each attribute is rated on a scale. But how are employers supposed to prove that to the government in order to justify salaries? Government can only use the broad axe method of slicing everyone into equal sizes.
