Question
Is it legal to schedule one employee to work more days, and hours for the same pay as other employees? a net difference of 5 days per year. We are Air Ambulance Pilots.
Answer
Unless there are some special rules for pilots (which I don't have much experience with), yes, it is legal. You can think of it like pay instead of time- it's as if that person is getting paid more than you (by whatever those 5 days are worth in your salary). It's legal to pay employees different rates, as long as the differences aren't discriminatory (and it's hard to prove pay discrimination.)
Best of luck to you!
