Poor industry wages have been discussed many times and it seems to boil down to this, should an employer pay good wages from the start and risk over paying some lemon who isn't worth a decent wage, or pay a low rate and risk loosing potentially good staff? If I got paid peanuts I'd put in a relevant effort, but pay me well and i'll deliver accordingly. Problem with paying poor wages under the promise of rewards for those who deliver is the fact that many employers pay peanuts no matter how hard you work (spoken from experience). Would it not be better to start new staff off on a good wage but with regular performance reviews? You'll know pretty quickly if they're worth it or not.

And put pay down if they are rubbish?
I don’t see how that would work.
A basic wage with performance bonus that an employer couldn’t wriggle out of maybe?
