Imagine a well paid, salaried team where overtime is the norm. 1 single mom of a 1 year old is never asked to put in the extra hours but gets the same salary. Is this fair to the other team members who regularly put in 60 hr weeks?

I really can't answer this fairly, because I don't know the whole story. Is this woman just more efficient than the rest of the team, or not?

If so-Than yes it's fair. She gets her work done.

If not-No. If you're not doing the same amount of work and you're still getting the pay of the entire group, it's just not fair. What it reminds me of is those high school group projects, where you'd always have that one person who slacked off but still got full credit. You should get payed for what you do.

@Those single mothers who are surely going to swarm me and tell me how hard it is to raise a kid, let me get this out first.

-I don't care. Personal life and Work life should not interact with each other whenever possible. I'm sure it can be tough to be a single mom, but remember, you did in fact make that choice. You made the choice to have the child, and doing so you accepted the responsibilities. Why should others shoulder your work because you can't handle the job?
