I am originally from a country where it is always the job that earns the salary not the person in it. The job requires a certain level of qualification and has a salary and benefit package attached to it with a system of increments or scale for the given position. This was the case in all major companies, small businesses were different. I am still , after 20 years, adjusting to this system in the US where remuneration is a secret between the specific employee and the company and two people can do the same job but the salaries may be miles apart.
