[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 958688, member: 60724"] Hugh, I tend to agree. If an employer wants to pay a married man with kids 20% more for the same job than he would a single guy, then I don't necessarily see a problem with that. Many would say that is discrimination. They would probably chant: "equal pay for equal work" or some other platitude. But, as you say, all things are rarely equal. What if an employer VALUES having employees that are male, married, with children? What if that same employer values the maturity and stability that someone fitting that profile provides as an employee? Shouldn't an employer be able to compensate for that value? Our laws would say they cannot. But don't we all suspect that SOME employers actually do value these things and compensate accordingly? Doesn't that mean we have set up a system with our laws that can't help but create abuse? TJR [/QUOTE]
