Among the many pay problems regularly confronting enterprises throughout the world, those associated with internal pay differentials are amongst the most common. The difficulties normally arise from the belief by certain workers or categories that the position they occupy in the existing jobs and pay hierarchy is inappropriate. But responding to such concerns by means of upward pay adjustments does not necessarily represent a solution as other workers, with whom comparisons are traditionally made, may not accept having their relative position deteriorate in this way.
