Basically the company I work for pay people with children and foreign people more per hour than other staff. We're talking Part Time staff here. Now for example I work various hours but in total more than one of the other guys who is foreign. [Bare in mind I have yet to verify this for sure with him but as of the last time i discussed this with my manager this was the case]
I do more hours than this person, have more responsibility but we do the exact same job otherwise. Now I'm sure I read a while back that in such a case the parties involved should be getting paid equally so he, or any other foreign person(s) employed by the company should not be getting paid more than someone like me.
Just looking for some advice and a good website with good in-depth information regarding this.
Thanks
eta: I looked up my local CAB so will find time to get to them and see advice via them also

we're salaried but everyone earns different amounts as they use a PRP schene wher your pay is based on how good you are at your job
I might also add that in my case i've been there FAR longer than the person I am comparing myself to.
If we were going to go on experience than I'd expect more money again because, between just all the part timers I've been doing retail for around 6 years whilst the rest havent even notched up 6 years between the rest of them !
Yes it does. But I don't see how having children or being foreign means you earn more than someone who doesn't have children or isn't foreign.
Do you have a union you can talk to about this?
