This is a question that I often ask myself, and it is not an easy one to answer. I have always been of the mindset that if I got another job paying more and my present employer offered to match it, I would be upset and in fact even more eager to leave.

Why? you may ask, well the reason is, that if your employer is willing to pay you more than they are already, they must be ripping you off now! Because they obviously think you are worth more than what they are paying you.

So employers, if you are thinking about how much you should be paying your staff, to get an idea of how much they are really worth to you, think about how much you would pay them to stay…

You may be lucky to get the opportunity to save an employee however if they are that keen to leave you are probably only postponing the inevitiable. (and you should have paid them more in the beginning!)
