People with higher position hold more responsibility compared to the ones with lower position, therefore it is justifiable to give them more salary. Some people believe. There are several reasons why subordinates get lower salary than their bos. The first reason is the burden that needs to be carried out by a bos is much higher than his staff. Secondly, the task is more difficult. Thirdly, mostly they have more experience than their subordinates so it's fair to give them more benefits.
