Do you think people who do the same work should get paid the same?

During our lives, we have witnessed the differences among personalities in completing a job. However, if two people do the same job over the same amount of time and equal quality, it seems right for them to get paid the same for that job.

Today, the business world drives towards the good practice of detailed performance evaluations. Thus, it concerns more on performance rather than gender, ethnicity, etc. In a world where it anticipates more performance, there is no chance for being paid differently for the same job. These excessive decisions damage the motivation which is one of the most crucial performance factors for workers.

Any income disparity among people nowadays is primarily due to education and career choices, as well as differences in work ethics. It seems acceptable paying differently for the same career over educational and other qualifications. Yet, it would be unfair if it pays differently for the same quality of work by depending on qualifications.

It is true that a person's pay has been always determined with respect to gender, colour or cast in the past few decades. Being a man or woman, an individual must be paid accordance with the work or post and nothing else. Not doing so is pure discrimination and this unethical practice should be discontinued.

Undoubtedly, there are some situations how a person suited differently to particular jobs. However, once someone is qualified to be in a particular position, then they deserve the same compensation. Otherwise, the only reason for the difference in pay is not work quality or efficiency.

In conclusion, it should eliminate the "glass ceiling" which seems unfair when it comes to salary and hiring in a world of equality.
