equal pay means receiving the same salary for the same work,,,, comparable worth in this context, means jobs of similar skills/difficulty/importance,,,, this expression "equal pay for comparable worth" has been used in reference to the inequality in the pay women receive,,, and jobs that are traditionally held by women\n\nif you take the skills necessary for some of the work, and equate that to traditionally "man" held jobs,,,,,, you will see it.... examples are child care/elderly care/ elementary school teachers/ waitresses /  secretaries etc

He was probably asking if you have worked within an Internal Equity pay structure.\n\n"The internal equity method of structuring pay involves creating a series of grades or bands, with wide ranges at the top of the pay structure and narrower ranges at the bottom. Each grade represents a different level within the company." - Salary.com \n\nInternal Equity (IE)\nThe practice of paying employees consistent with the organization's pay structure. Also known as internal consistency; compares jobs inside a single organization in terms of their relative contributions to the organization's objectives.\n\nInternal Equity reviews ensure that salaries for positions are internally consistent.\n\nYou may want to review the following-\n\n1. A list of positions you consider to be comparable to the position in question and the departments they belong to. Positions may be compared if the majority of the job functions are similar. \n\n2. The title of the direct supervisor for each of the positions on your list. Positions may be compared if they have similar reporting relationships.\n\nSalary.com provides a great explanation of this term and pay structures in general at \n\nhttp://salary.com/advice/layoutscripts/advl_display.asp?tab=adv&cat=Cat14&ser=Ser65&part=Par142

If it is the same line of business that I am currently in then I would.  \n\nIf it's same job more pay, I wouldn't hesitate.

Situations like these can be tricky. One doesn't want to be pushy and be adamant that they want more than what was offered but at the same time if that is done it could prove beneficial to you in the end when you walk away the winner in the salary negotiation.\n\nMy honest suggestion would be to take the $12.00 per hour and hope that the raise may come soon. Most times employer give new staff members probation periods to prove themselves and when that time has expired, if they are satisfied with your work, you end up getting a raise. Good luck.

Entitled to, yes, it's called London Weighting and is something you should already be getting if you work in London. However, some employers don't do it but merely make the salary reflect that fact. Either way, your employer is obligated to make the necessary adjustments.

It'll cost more.  Fortunately, there are a lot of websites that let you calculate the difference.  Below is one site I found.  You put in your current salary, your starting city and destination city.  You get back what you'd need to earn to have the same spending power in the destination city.

darn right there should be. say 10% if i make 100 bucks i give the gov 10, if i make 1,000 i give em 100, if i make 1,000,000 i give em 100,000, seems fair to me, unlike now where thoe more i make the less i bring home. before my last pay raise i brought home more money, im paying almost 54% of my income in taxes. the harder i work, the more i pay, for the people who arent working.. thats not fair to me.

Do you think your salary will reflect your superior work if your salary is negotiated by a union?\n\n2. Suppose you really hate your job, you hardly work at it, and you are worse than 90% of your peers.  Do you think your salary will reflect your inferior work if your salary is negotiated by a union?\n\nI agree - I don't believe in unions.
