The salary payments are average estimates of male and female workers in the sales department in Astra Zeneca Company. Women earn less than men receive because they are less educated and find themselves working in units where men earn higher than women. The significant discrimination in the Company arises from believing that men work better in leadership positions than women. Example, women do not work as heads in sales departments, which earn much money. Moreover, women take maternity leaves, which do not earn any money in the sales department, thus lagging behind regarding salaries. The secretive nature of paying wages in the company allows men to have more earnings through overtime and privileges (Baron & Cobb-Clark, 2010).The human resource department at Astra Zeneca could establish procedures and policies
