I've worked for an organisation with no pay structure. It created a toxic atmosphere, where people doing the same job in the same department were paid vastly different wages. With no pay bands, you could find people managing staff who earned more than them. It caused such morale problems that eventually, discussing your wages with another employee was made a disciplinary offence.
I wouldn't recommend it as a sensible way forward. Given the opportunity of paying as many staff as possible as little as possible, in a job market where the supply of experienced staff outstrips the number of jobs available and in a poor economic climate, few employers would do otherwise.

Quote:but the potential is there that the better the rate, the better the response and the applicant?I salute your faith in human nature. Sadly this isn't what I've observed in action - the "better rate" doesn't get offered because the employer doesn't find it necessary.
