I think there have been some discussions on here before about how much people are paid versus how much money they make for their employer. Seems like it was a bit low. What if there was a standard formula that estimated the average amount a worker in a particular position generated minus overhead (all costs but labor) and that employee was paid at least 50% of that net money generated? Interesting as a concept, though of course all sorts of games can be played with estimating profit, as record companies, movie studios and other places that pay royalties or part of the profit have proven. Somehow, things that generate tens of millions of dollars never quite become profitable (even after they pay back the initial investment.
