I've had several employees come to me with your situation, telling me they have a job offer paying more. Every time I've said, "You should take it. We'll miss you."
The ones who came back to me and said they wanted to stay I just told them "Sorry, we've moved on and you should, too."
Really? It seems to me like you would want your employees to come to you with that kind of information. It seems more respectful to you for them to say, "Hey look I love working here, but XYZ is beating down my door and offering $xx. Would you be willing to bump me up closer to that?"

Right, the other option is the employee giving his two weeks' notice and walking out. Is that better? I guess if you're determined to set the bottom the pay scale it doesn't matter to you either way.

Yes, really.
