Yes, you can also argue that companies should be able to pay men way more than women for the same work, if they so choose, but I don’t think that’s right any more than I think it is right to pay someone almost twice as much if they are covering an entire family with health insurance. Let people get paid the same for the same job and then choose how much of that they’d like funneled into the various benefit options.
Funny no one speaks about women getting the men’s paycheck anyways.
If it is a mandate, that is wrong.
If a company offers it as a benefit to attract people, that is different, and that is what I am referring to.
I should be able to run my company as I see fit.
