16. How do you address the issue of 'pay and promotion' discrimination?

16.       Pay systems can be daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the nature of the job, conventions and contract. The pay is an accepted form of return for labor spent on productive work for the firm. Promotions are often given as a reward or recognition of the efforts of an employee during a period, project or for a work done. Discrimination is often eliminated if the pay and promotion systems are based on principles of fairness, is just and promoting equity among employees and is a consequence of ‘learnt behaviours’ and ‘expectations’ of a job. Such managements provide a democratic and equal opportunity work environment, which ethic has long term benefits and enhance the brand value of the firm.
