Junior-Senior Anomaly - The issue arises when a junior employee earns a higher salary than a senior, leading to disputes over pay equality and stepping up of pay to rectify disparities. Courts and authorities have addressed these cases through judicial orders and rulings, emphasizing that such anomalies are to be corrected to uphold principles of fairness and equality.
