Yearly increment
Is it common HR practice to have percentage-based yearly increments? This is how it is done in my company, and it seems to me to be an unfair system that favours those earning more. An example. Suppose X (with experience) and Y (fresh graduate) join a company, with salary of 6k and 3k respectively. And assume that both are consistently rated A over the next few years, and that the increment for A performers is 10%. Over time, the salary gap between X and Y is going to widen. 3 years later, for example, X's salary will rise to $8k while Y's salary will only rise to 4k.
