Miki;
I listen to a lot of radio and a few years ago there was a program about an analysis on how salaries and raises are determined. I don't remember the parameters but the uptake was that men were willing to risk more to get more. In a job interview men were more likely to leave without the job if the pay did not meet their expectations. In performance reviews that same held true if the review and increase were not in line with their expectations, they were more apt to leave seek employment elsewhere. More then half were likely to leave if no annual raised were offered. The conclusion was that women were more risk adverse then men when it came to employment. I ran a consulting company for 15 years, so for me it was easy to create a compensation based on billable hours, increases and profit sharing were based on the same, Since I offered maternity leave and paternity leave equally I did not have that thorny issue. The only tough one was when an employee had to take a leave of absence doe to illness.
