Swissgirl, yeah - true, I am single so just have to worry about me. Guess if you have a family its a different circumstance to consider. But is it right that a person with family should be paid more than a single person that does the same job? some companies provide funding for schooling for kids, but I've got no kids, so should I be paid more as I dont take this money from an employer - I appreciate what i have and accept that others will probably recive more and also some will perhaps receive less, but I dont feel cheated.

Every employee is unique and all factors and influences have to be considered; its when employees compare salary and allowances that everything gets complicated - as long as you agree a salary and benfits before commiting to signing the employment contract then its unfair to complain after comparing to other workers.
