Salary Compression
Salary compression refers to a salary inequity problem, generally caused by inflation, resulting in longer-term employees in a position earning less than workers entering the firm today. It means longer-term employees salaries are lower than those of workers entering the firm today, and is a creature of inflation. Prices (and starting salaries) go up faster than the company’s salaries, and firms need a policy to handle it.
