In the UK, such a thing would be considered to be discriminatory and therefore illegal. Not to say it never happens in the UK, it does. But there is much more emphasis on people earning equal pay for equal work - although having said that, that mostly applies to the men, because women still earn a lot less than the men, even though there are equal pay laws.
I can understand why such disparity might seem equitable on the one hand (making sure that employees of whatever nationality 'benefit' in their home country terms to the same amount), but then inequitable on the other, because people might be paid different amounts, which doesn't seem fair.
Doesn't necessarily mean I agree with it.
