    If a company really wants to employ someone, and when they are interviewed they state they require Xsalary, then the employer will pay. They don't then have to give everyone above that person a pay rise to make it 'fair'.

    Ultimately, if he is being paid within his bracket, and you are being paid within yours, it sounds very much like 'vote with your feet time'. You can't scream discrimination just because you don't get your own way.... well you can but it won't get you very far.

    The new memebr is male and has no expereince of the job.

    Are you suggesting that the reason they are paid the same as the person to whom they report is that they are male and being paid more than a female equivalent?
