I'd like to agree with 'Why not just pay people the same for each position' but to play devil's advocate, off the top of my head: * not all people in the same position are equally qualified * reducing the difference to bonuses might mean a lot more overhead * salary might cover for things other than just competence, i.e. Alice and Bob are equally qualified, but you hire Alice out of college while Bob already had a well paying job I wish there was enforce transparency about salaries but I'm not sure all of them can be just leveled to position+bonus. Joel Spolsky had an interesting approach to this, a more complex formula but still public and consistent for all employees: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000038.html
