<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk69118321"><span lang="EN-US">Most modern workplaces aim to compensate employees according to principles of fairness and meritocracy, whereby compensation is primarily determined by individual performance. Yet,
in many organizations, work routinely involves collaborative tasks where individual contributions to teamwork are difficult to observe and evaluate. Prior research demonstrates that these settings are particularly ripe for decision-making biases, inducing
pay differences due to characteristics other than performance. Therefore, how evaluators assess what is fair when they are uncertain about performance is the question we explore. We conduct a behavioral experiment (N = 2164) where American liberals and conservatives
have to divide a bonus between two team members without knowing their individual contributions to the team. Instead, they receive information about two important contextual cues: the distribution of opportunities requiring high levels of effort between the
workers and their race. We observe that liberals and conservatives give a higher proportion of the bonus to workers exposed to more tasks that require higher levels of effort, regardless of their performance, and liberals reward even more workers who voluntarily
choose tasks that require higher levels of effort. Moreover, we find that the workers' race matters for liberals (but not for conservatives) mainly when opportunities are exogenously assigned to workers but not when they are chosen. More broadly, this study
contributes to our knowledge of how pay inequality is shaped by structural conditions of inequality and their effect on cognitive mechanisms that help employers rationalize unequal pay.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
