What does "paid to scale" mean?!


Question: Based on the context I have heard it used in, I realize it is a bad thing, but not quite sure why.


Answers: Based on the context I have heard it used in, I realize it is a bad thing, but not quite sure why.

Actors, for example, are paid a set wage, according to a fee scale.

When you are "paid to scale", you get that fixed sum (say, $500 a day), as opposed to a big name star who command whatever they wish

sounds like something the post office would do with your mail. pay by the weight of the package (scale)

Paid to scale means that you're going to be paid what the company thinks you are worth, not what you think you are worth.

For instance, a college graduate with 10 years experience in widget design who is applying to drive a forklift will be paid like all the other forklift drivers.

You are paid according to the guild scale for your labor on the production.

nooooooooo it's not a bad thing. it's a god thing. it's a union term.
means you are being paid to the level you are supposed to get...as "I" understand it to be from when I grew up.

I think it means that the person has a pay scale which determines when and how much you make. When the salary has topped out or at the highest end it is the salary cap. Which means no raises or salary increases because they are paid to scale.

scale is a minimum wage--like in the movies...

scale is like $1400 a week if you work on a movie set...
