We're in England, the NHS pays for most of this stuff here.
Obviously no one is being forced to share their personal issues. All I'm arguing about here is whether someone's needs should be a part of the equation determining their pay.
There's a stanford case study on AES, an energy company that employed 40'000 people and had similar compensation practices. Here's one of their values, quoted in the study:
Fairness . . . the term `fairness' means `justice.' Often `fairness' is confused with `sameness' ... We don't mean that. AES aspires to give everyone special treatment. Everyone is unique ... And the effects of treating people justly in corporate systems and organizations can be profound.
They scaled that value to an international, public corporation with tens of thousands of employees. Worth pondering instead of rejecting outright, no?
