> If the employee is approaching this with the idea of taking advantage of the company You should be aware that this is not possible... A company will never hire you for a salary it cannot pay, because they know very well their numbers. On the other hand, it is very easy for workers to be screwed because they don't know how much the company is willing to pay for that position. The only way to get to know how much the company can offer is to ask for a salary that is way higher than the first offer.
