salaries
Hi

Question for you! Two people both with the same contract. One has a wife and son the other just a fiancee.

Should the person with the family be paid more than the other? This does not seem right to me!!!!

As a local hire, I would not expect company to financially support family, or other life decisions their employees may make/have made that don't directly relate to ability to perform role. That doesn't mean that there are some paternalistic &/or discrimatory policies around, still. I agree, they are not fair.
As a transferee, when a company benefits from you having relocated your family and possessions - whether at your or their initiation - to fulfill a role, then there is a case.
This perspective help?

No. He should get more tax breaks, but not more salary. (nt)

Not sure if Nir responding to my posting or the original one...? but just to be clear I am saying there can be a case to be paid more when one has more dependents, as a transferee. This is not in form of more salary though. Rather in form of allowances, or more support with rent etc. [And I am not saying I am an advocate of it. These dependents are often in a position to work themselves...]
Taxation varies from country to country and indeed some use the taxation system to incentivise marriage and birth.

... individual contract negotiation is commonplace.

Depending of course on the industry you are refering to, but as a rule in banking/finance, there is a salary band for a role, and its up to you whether or not you negotiate your salary as being at the top end of the band or bottom , at the time of contract negotiation.
