$15? $25? $0 because the children yearn for the mines?

I like that approach, but you'd have to deal with companies spinning off departments as separate companies on paper so that executives and average employees are paid by different companies and have different payscales. You'd have to do something like include any company that BigCo transacts with when calculating payscales for BigCo or something like that.
I would include every employee of every affiliated company and include suppliers and contractors. I would also make the benefits owed to part time employees higher than those owed to full time employees to incentivize companies to create full time positions. That way four people working four 25% time jobs each would be converted to full time employees.
I would also require that any offshore employees or contractors be paid the same as onshore employees.
