I guess I was confused by the use of the pronoun "it" right at the beginning. With no context, I had trouble deciding what it mean, or deciphering much of the post. What you explained is the only bit I was able to guess at on my own, mostly because it's common sense.

The part about the mathematical viability of fairness was particularly quite puzzling.

I read the initial it as “your salary = your value add” giving a single point figure which is the upper bound of the inequality “your salary <= your value add” and the upper bound on what a sound company would pay.

(It’s actually higher than what a sound company would pay, but if you switch salary out for “total cost to company”, it becomes correct again.)
