Apply for it!employer advertising same job as I have , but it's advertised at 140 euro a month
Is there any legislation, that says employers are obliged to pay same rates for sane employment.?
The market moves, sometimes the pay rates to attract new staff need to be higher.
Existing staff may leave as a result of course and then there are more vacancies to fill and then the rates need to creep up again…or the existing staff threaten to leave and they get a pay rise…
If I was a female, I'm sure the discrimination card would come into play thks
If any new employee can be paid more for equal work, do existing staff have a case for discrimination if the new employee has one of the protected grounds? Say the new person is younger, or single with no childcare responsibilities, or is a different religion? How does that work? Surely, the rate for the job is the rate.
If and employer wants to reward a better performer with higher pay than a worse performer, they should be entitled to do so.
But in this case its a new employee so there's no way of knowing if they are a better performer or not.
Ya great idea !!!Apply for it!
Interesting , I will be back in a few weeks , I would say I would not be re employed if they were not happy with me ...they know I am reliable and trustworthy and never take a sick day etc ....however with a new employee they don't know how he will perform but yet offer a higher salary ?! InterestingI presume this is for driving school buses and during the holidays you work elsewhere. I also presume they see you as an employee and not as a contractor?
If you are an employee, then you should have a contract of employment, that is the law.
It is not uncommon in a lot of industries for newbies to start at a higher salary then those who have been there a while.

I'm at a loss to conceive how a job ad can refer to existing, separate roles in the employer organisation. If you have 10 toolmakers each earning €50K each and you need to offer €60k to attract an 11th toolmaker, I don't see that as sufficient reason to grant all 10 incumbents a €10k pay rise.It is understandable that different roles /experience / responsibilties / qualifications / length of service etc command different pay.
In the OP's post however, their employer has just advertised the same job at a higher rate. The employer doesn't know yet what skills or experience any applicant might have and imo it would be upsetting for a current employee in the exact same job to see that advert.
If the role is not exactly the same, the ad should make that very clear.
If it is exactly the same and the company are not rewarding poor performance of existing workers, then the existing employee would likely be aware of that from reviews and feedback.
Sounds like shoddy HR practice.
Why don't they?No, but I imagine they would start soon be looking elsewhere for a better pay
