Hi......So my state has just introduced a minimum wage. It's causing me a problem.
We have some people who do unskilled work, they are good at what they do. But the problem is that when I put their pay up. They are on the same as the graduates.
Therefore I feel that their pay has to go up, and so on up the chain so we maintain separation between skill levels.
If I leave the graduates on the same pay they are on they will get pissed off and leave.
For comparison. My paramedic BIL was earning good money ($15/hr) now he is just above minimum wage. He is pissed off he has college debt to pay off, plus his job is stressful. He says why should he bother if his skills ar not recognized. He may as well take a slight pay cut and have a easy life flipping burgers.
Help! I need some input
