I have searched and can not find a way to preferentially hire by policy a female at reduced comparative salary to perform the same job that our male employees are filling.


I have run the numbers and with as little as 20% lower salaries I believe our company could overcome the higher rates of sick leave, HR complications, and health insurance costs that we have documented stemming from our female employees.

Progressive talking point with no basis in reality.

Nothing to see here move along

My understanding is that figure includes voluntary time away from the workforce(mom stuff).

I managed a bunch of hourly workers for many years, men and women with equal hourly pay. When someone is out sick or on vacation and you need someone to work the OT, guess who works the OT? It wasn't the ladies. They gave up their OT whenever they were next up. When you need someone to work over, because the work isn't caught up, guess who worked over?

The OT pay over the course of the year can add up to thousands of dollars.

Hire someone with less experience....which is generally the case since most women take time of to have kids...some stay at home, etc.

When I had my business I looked at the best fit for the position in Sales, Inside Sales, mechanic/tech, and delivery drivers. My compensation depended on market and what the person could do.

Had one female that was a top mechanic and experience as a shop foreman. I paid her a fair base for exp & market she was in plus she made a bonus off the profit of the shop. Got to pay well to keep top talent.

Now the hardest part was I had relations with her when I was 16 years old. At one time I thought she had big assets, but 20 years later things change I guess.

When I hired her 20 years later it was 110% professional due to I learned don't mess with the people that make you money!

There is also an IQ factor. Males have a greater dispersal than females. Thus, MANY more Level 1 IQs (the Bell Curve) are male and they make top pay that few women can reach. On the counter, MANY more Level 5 IQs are male and they don't factor into the wage earning calculation because they are either on welfare on in prison.

Women cluster into the middle 2-4. So they are compared with males who are in 1-4.
