Nothing works always. However, I think that basing pay on service time
is just plain wrong.

Why? They do it in other job areas. Workers with lots of experience who've
stuck with their career field are more able to deal with contingencies,
have
gotten ongoing training to improve their skills, and have a wealth of lore
that
enables them to help newer employees and continue operations smoothly
since
they can refer to past events and understand the whole operating philosopy
of
the firm or district. Sure beats having clueless rookies for the whole
staff.

Everything you say is true, of course.

Equally true is the assumption that, IF everything you say is true, this
employee will perform at a higher level and earn a performance-based pay
increase, rendering this discussion moot.

However, we all know that this is not always the case.
