Employers should pay their employees based on skill/ knowledge not gender

 @9D9MP8Hanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, employers should pay men and women the same salary for the same job unless variables such as education, experience and tenure come into the mix as that would be fair.

No, there are too many other variables, but someone should not be paid less JUST because of their gender

 @9F3Q7XJanswered…1yr1Y

Yes if their experience and education is within the same range. Especially if another man would be offered the same pay in a similar range.

 @9DX49Q6 answered…1yr1Y

There should be clear salary ranges for all positions but they should take into account education, experience and tenure as to where in the salary range they would sit.
