CEO of Ignite Global Kim Seeling Smith says businesses who pass on super hikes to their staff in the form of reduced salaries could end up paying more in the long run. “Employers using this policy may find it costs much more than it saves,” she said. “Employees have more choice of jobs than ever before as the economy and skills shortages heat up.” “After the year we’ve all had, it doesn’t take much for someone to get fed up and quit.”
