But i cant give them this kind of salary increase. is there no other way?
we have cases where one accounts person is getting 5k and other one is getting 20K. we have managed to maintain that by separeting the profile slightly . the lower salaried person looks only the salary PF and other cash vouchers where as the higher paid person has to go out and collect cash from other people like suppliers and bank.
but thei front office and the pa problem is difficult. Moreover the responsibilities of the pa are goin to be given to the front office person also. and accidently the front office person is a ref. from PA.
plz suggest.

Dear
you shoould have analysed the problem before you hired. Now what you can do is to give them some hike in order to keep their morale up and say to them that at an appropriate time it will be taken care.

Hello Neha,
You must introduce some kind of salary grades and salary scales for each grades.
According to their experience and market price for this jobs adjust their salary at par with market to justify increase of pay.
Becasue your employer will not accept random salary increase without giving him proper feedback how these people are bahind market salary for the position they work in your organization.
This may eventually result in sudden resignation and recruitment or replacement at higher price if these people leave organization. If these people have acquired efficiency and perfection then new recruit or replacement will take atleast six months and the loyalty with organization these people has shown shall be rewarded to retain such talented people.
Employer has to be convinced that because these people work for us does not mean they are inefficient but they are underpaid because we did not valued their price as per market. If these people move to another organization they may be offered as per current mareket price therefore salary has to be restored to market.

I have to agree with the others - a salary hike is the best option to bring others on teh same level. It is the ethical thing to do. Compare JD's, do performance reviews, this will also be of help.
We have an occupation dispensation system, that evaluates qualifications and experience, either or both if a person has, and upgrade them accordingly. If a person os also on teh same level for so long depending on the consistency on their good performance, an upgrade is possible too. Even upgrading in salary is possible if the level of work is the same as a higher level person or higher salary person. There is always a way to do this. The cost of living will always rise.
I should think that private companies have more insentives to succeed.

Dear Neha,
Hiring with such a hoch poch salary scales will 100% creates problem in employees. You must have policy regarding salary scale. Give increment to the old staff – if deserves will reduce this gape. Well, be aware from next time and introduce Salary Scale as per designation / work specification will help you a lot.

dear neha,
I want to know from you is..why are you bothering about difference of their salaries.As a hr you should not compare the salaries of the employees..because salaries will be different based on the job profile and job specifications.
You can manage them like this..
As a front office executive should be good looking ,good communication skills,should hold the patience to attend all the calls..and communicate the info to respective departments.
As a PA or accountant,those above qualities are not mandatory to work for them.
You just differenciate the job description like this..then there is no chance of comparing..and if they ask you about their salaries..you can explain this to the employees at the same time for the employer..
Hope this info can help you.
