    Hi i just looking for a bit of advice. i've been working for a retail company in a managerial position for over a year now, still on same wages as when i started. I have recently taken on a part time sales assistant and she is on the same wage as me. I have brought this to my employers attention but i have still not heard anything back, has anyone any advice as i just do not think this is fair.:mad::mad:

    Work & Jobs forum might be better one for help here, but that does seem unfair. I have heard of people who started on a particular wage and then goit promoted with only a tiny increase being told that it will be good for their CV etc, but in fairness I think your employer is taking the p**s here, I'd be after a 10-20% minimum increase if I was you but unfortunately it's an employers market at the moment and they hold all the aces and can easily tell you where to go.

    That's crazy, have you got a union? Have a look at the salary survey sites and see what a comparable wage should be. You really should earn more than a part time sales assistant.
