She obviously has everything to win to tell people to start with a lower wage. But she mentioned this:<p>&gt;To emphasize how eager the young woman was to work, she even offered my colleague to waive her wages. Since that didn’t feel right, they decided on a basic salary to start with and agreed to have an evaluation after 6 months and after 1 year.<p>But I doubt that not paying somebody is legal here in Belgium, and an evaluation after 6 months and 1 year is pretty standard.
