FDS is an organization that has 12 salary grades ranging from FDS1 to FDS 12. FDS 1 is the salary grade for the Chief Executive Officer, FDS 2 is the salary grade for departmental heads meaning the lowest salary falls under the grade FDS 12.The salary difference between the grades following each other on average is ZMK3,122 except for grades FDS 7 and FDS 8. The salary difference between FDS 7 and FDS 8 is 9,800 meaning FDS 7 gets paid more than double of FDS 8.

Following this anomaly between FDS 7 and FDS 8, there has been a lot of complaints from workers under FDS 8 as to why other salary grades have relatively similar and lower differences compared to theirs. You have just been contracted to bridge the salary gap between FDS 7 and FDS 8.
