Should You or Shouldn''''t You Accept a Pay Raise?

You are the team lead of a bustling, growing company of 128,000 employees that is ranked 2nd in Money Magazine’s 2006 list of 100 Best Places to Work. In fact, your company is the highest ranked in your Industry. You have been the team leader for more than three years and draw a base salary of 15,00, 000 INR. You also receive a 7,00,000 INR vehicle allowance and a cell phone with all business calls paid. The CE0,CFO and COO have very positive views of your leadership, business smarts, and professionalism. In recognition of your performance, the company wants to give you a 10-percent raise in your base salary. Others employees in your team during the same time period were limited to a maximum of a 7-percent increase.

Discussion questions

1. Do you take the 10-percent raise?

2. Do you refuse to accept the 10-percent raise, saying that "I appreciate the recommendation, but I am unwilling to accept any more than what our employees can receive."

3. Is there an ethical issue?
