That's completely untrue. It would instantly eliminate entry level jobs and devalue skilled workers who had put in years and risen up the chain through promotions.
A person should be paid according to their skill level. Not one penny more. Unskilled labor should be paid accordingly. Skilled labor should be rewarded accordingly.
You don't "save money" by paying people more than they are worth.
